Hand-knotted in one of the most popular cities in the history of rug weaving, this one-of-a-kind Persian Hamedan rug brings the beauty of eastern culture to your home. Hamedan is not only one of the oldest cities in Iran, it is also one of civilization's most ancient urban centers. Its historical origin dates back to several centuries before Christ. In the Hamedan area, 1500 villages specialize in their own designs, creating over 3000 variations. The rug designs are similar in layout, but each design has special characteristics to make one different from the other. This is a major industry in the city of Hamedan and the only source of income for thousands of families. Hamedan's rugs are quite durably constructed due to the rugged wool spun from hardy sheep in the higher, cooler altitudes. This rug is approximately 20 years old and the color combination reflects the tastes and imaginations of the weavers, laying beautiful geometric designs in green, eggplant, and navy, on a traditional beige background and burgundy border. The popularity of this design has created many imitations in the rug business and there are hundreds of Hamedan-style rugs in the market for much higher prices than that of Overstock.com, which offers you on an original piece. Buy this one-of-a-kind rug today and tell your friends that your rug is 'one-in-a-million.' Slight variation in the color and designs in each piece is normal in handmade rugs.
