Hand knotted from wool by artisans in the Hosein Abad village of Hamadan in north-west Iran, this rug features a repeating Herati motif that creates a rich mass of colour and design. The hand-spun, long-stapled wool has a soft, lustrous finish that adds comfort and quiet sheen. Traditional reds, blues, cream and green give depth to the pattern, and the initially bright colours mellow beautifully with age. This handmade rug brings timeless, tactile warmth and inviting charm to an indoor living space.
