Story Behind the Art : The Hamadan has neither the artistry of the pattern of the Kerman, the fineness of the Kashan knot, nor the richness of ideas of the Tabriz, but it is the most hard wearing of all Persian rugs. The Hamadan rug is particularly hard wearing because of its coarse, thick wool, which gives it a thick, deep pile. Hamadan Rugs are identifiable by their patterns, which typically show medallions and repeated forms. The background is patterned with a center medallion, or several medallions, angular tendrils, or figures of animals. Overall, this pattern is of a simpler character than those of the Persian nomads. The effect of the arrangement of geometrical and stylized forms is primitive and powerful.
