Hamadan Rugs
Hamadan rugs originate from Hamadan, located in west central Iran, is one of the oldest cities in the world, dating back several centuries before Christ. Hamadan and its surrounding villages make up one of the largest trade centers for tribal rugs. This area is well known for tribal rugs with a strong Turkish influence. At one time these rugs were commonly used as floor rugs to sleep on. This lent itself to the creation of long narrow rugs, which we have adopted for use as stair runners. The wool used for weaving the rugs and stair runners is extremely durable as a result of coming from sheep living in higher altitudes with cooler temperatures. Weavers in Hamadan use Turkish knots for the rugs and stair runners, and they are all flat woven.
