HAMADAN is one of the oldest cities not only of Iran, but of the world. Located in west-central Iran, this vast trade center for tribal rugs has a historical origin dating back several centuries before Christ. Hamadan was the summer capital of the Median and was then called Ekbatan or Hegmataneh, which means a place of assembly. It is thus one of the cradles of Oriental Civilization. According to historical records, there was once a castle in this city by the name of Haft Hessar (seven walls) which had a thousand rooms and whose grandeur equaled the Tower of Babylon. All the nations living around Iran coveted the prominent location of Hamadan and, from ancient times until recent centuries, have invaded the city several times. First, the Assyrians destroyed Hamadan. It was ruined again and again during the invasion of the Mongols under Tamerlane. Finally, in recent centuries, the Ottomans attacked the city several times, but Hamadan heroically stood against the enemies and courageously withstood all the damages it sustained. Hamadan is the homeland of great scholars and men of letters like Einalqozat Hamdeni, Khajeh Rashidoddin Fazlollah, Adham Hamdeni, Baba Taher Orian and Mirzadeh Eshqi. The tombs of Avicenna and Baba taher are located in this city. It should be noted that Hamden has preserved its importance in the post-Islamic period. Hamadan produces beautiful, tribal hand-woven rugs made in the city and the surrounding areas in the west of Iran. Initially, these rugs were created for the use of sleeping on. This general idea of using a rug on the floor to sleep on evolved into the idea of using a long, narrow runner. At last, a stair runner was created. Hamadan's rugs are quite durably constructed due to the rugged wool spun from hardy sheep in the higher, cooler altitudes. The patterns vary in rugs of this city from geometric, to small animal and floral elements and to sometimes the famous Herati design. Also, the Mahi design (fish design) is used in carpets from Hamadan. Runners often times can have a repeating design of a flower which is centered inside a diamond shape. The diamond shape will have curving leaves outside of it which each side it parallel to on another. Hamadan is an important city in the carpet industry because, along with its many surrounding villages it produces countless numbers of floor pieces that are all unique and remarkable in their own way. These rugs are influenced by the Turks and are manufactured around the city of Hamadan are all handmade, with a pile entirely of wool and mainly natural vegetable dyes. Very seldom will you ever see silk in the rugs from this region. The foundation of the rug (the warp and weft) is usually cotton, and in some cases goat hair. The patterns are usually simple geometric arrangements with primary and vibrant colors. These rugs are overall very good in quality and most of them have been known to last surprisingly long periods of time. Hamadan village rugs all have a single-wefted medallion. Hamadan carpets come in different sizes, but the majority of them are mid-size (4x6 to 8x 10 feet). These days you can find many beautiful runners of fine pattern and quality. Dark reds and powerful blues are the predominant colors along with ivories set for contrasting colors. Other colors such as soft greens, blues, and browns are found in newer carpets. These rugs and carpets are made of a soft wool and have a thin, tight pile. The warp and weft are mostly made of cotton. Weavers in Hamadan use Turkish knots, and the carpets are flat-woven. These carpets are to be among the finest quality carpets and are great for practical and durable use in a home.

The Persian rug is a tradition
that has survived for a period of over 2500 years. Each Persian
rug is a new flower blossoming from one of the biggest
branches of an ancient and colorful yet damaged tree which is
the Persian culture . Persian people are very tradition oriented
and this characteristic can be seen in the way they make their
rugs . Each village or city in Iran has an ancient and
traditional rug pattern that has been maintained in that region
for centuries and sometimes millenniums. The distinct designs of
each city are particular to that city alone and although famous
designs have been imitated elsewhere in the country a few times
, they have never been duplicated. Iran is also the place where
many other styles of rugs are made, such as Turkish, Caucasian,
Armenian, Kazak, Afghanistan & India. The
Persian rug is a big chapter in the book of Iran's culture
because it visually shows the biggest obsessions in Persian
culture, which are the beauty of nature, literature, and true
love. These are what make the Persian rug on
of the most prestigious things to be placed in any home. |

KPSI: ( knot per Square inch ) the number of knots per linear
inch along the warp and
the weft tell us what is the KPSI in one rug. You multiply both
numbers on the warp and the weft from back of the carpet. For
example 10 knots along the warp and 12 knots along the weft would
give a KPSI of 120. RAJ is the number of knots on warp or weft
per 7 linear centimeter. Persian rugs usually count with RAJ
instead of KPSI. But for your convenience we use KPSI
here. keep in mind higher KPSI does not necessarily
mean a better quality rug. the number of kpsi is only depended on
technique of the weave. |

Perfect and excellent condition does not necessarily mean a full pile as in a

foundation and having some pile. And also, keep in mind that some types of rugs
don't have a thick pile even when they are brand new.
