Hamadan Rugs

Hamadan Rugs
HAMADAN RUGS
Persian rugs made of cotton foundation and a close wool pile tied with the Ghiordes knot. The pile yarn is largely composed of camel's hair with a little wool. The design consists of a centre medallion and corner spaces on a field of yellow or brown ground, together with floral patterns in blue and red. These carpets were so wonderful in quality and design that they were not laid on the floor, but hung up in galleries. There is only a single coarse cotton thread between each row of tufts or knots.
