Previously overshadowed by palatial magnificent workshop rugs,  Hamadan rugs have enjoyed a reassessment and are now appreciated as an example of indigenous expression similar to Native American rugs and blankets.  Older Hamadan rugs woven during the Neo-Classical period, most often made with natural dyes and quality wool, offer uniqueness and affordability, and with the world downsizing, allow for placement in a host of areas with their smaller format. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThank you\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Rugs","offers":[{"title":"2'7\" x 3'9\" \/ Blue \/ Red","offer_id":21156354031670,"sku":"PH2739","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/3963\/8070\/products\/PH2739.jpg?v=1566423733"},{"product_id":"persian-iranian-rug","title":"Antique \"Borchalu\" Hamadan","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10% of this sale is donated to GoodWeave, a world leader in the fight against child labor.

Organized production in the city of Hamadan began in ~1911 with OCM establishing operations there under the guidance of weighty expert Cecil Edwards, before interruption, (i.e., devastation) of the \"Great War\" (World War I) . Most of the Hamadan city production was in larger format, double wefted rugs designated \"Alvand\" quality. Alvand was chosen in honor of 11,750 ft Mt Alvand, which provided for the extenisve agriculture in the area. In response, the ever astute and industrious Persian villagers began their own home production creating distinctive patterns and weaves.  Experts assert that at peak production there were over 1500 different village producing rugs and surrounding communities. The vast majority of Hamadan village rugs from the era were single wefted, on a cotton foundation, often all vegetal dyed, and in small format ranging from little 2 x 3 mats to 5 x 7. Of course, there were exceptions, some were double wefted like Hamadan shahrbafts, some were palace size like Bibikabad, and some had wool warps and\/or wefts like those woven before the 20th century and many Kurdish rugs that are often attributed as part of the Hamadan family of rugs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThank you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Rugs","offers":[{"title":"2'7\" x 4'3\" \/ Blue \/ Blue","offer_id":21156381884470,"sku":"PHB2743","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/3963\/8070\/products\/PHB2743.jpg?v=1566423773"},{"product_id":"persian-iranian-rug-1","title":"Gharine Ivory Sarouk (Pair only)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e10% of this sale is donated to GoodWeave, a world leader in the fight against child labor.

Organized production in the city of Hamadan began in ~1911 with OCM establishing operations there under the guidance of weighty expert Cecil Edwards, before interruption, (i.e., devastation) of the \"Great War\" (World War I) . Most of the Hamadan city production was in larger format, double wefted rugs designated \"Alvand\" quality. Alvand was chosen in honor of 11750 ft Mt Alvand, which provided for agriculture in the area. In response, the ever astute and industrious Persian villagers began their own home production creating distinctive patterns and weaves.  Experts assert that at peak production there were over 1500 different village producing rugs and surrounding communities. The vast majority of Hamadan village rugs from the era were single wefted, on a cotton foundation, often all vegetal dyed, and in small format ranging from little 2 x 3 mats to 5 x 7. Of course, there were exceptions, some were double wefted like Hamadan shahrbafts, some were palace size like Bibikabad, and some had wool warps and\/or wefts like those woven before the 20th century and many Kurdish rugs that are often attributed as part of the Hamadan family of rugs. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThank you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Rugs","offers":[{"title":"4-5 x 6-2 \/ Red\/ Blue","offer_id":21156804984886,"sku":"PHE37411","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/3963\/8070\/files\/IMG_7100.jpg?v=1732907237"},{"product_id":"iranian-persian-handmade-rug-5","title":"Semi-Antique Persian Bakhtiari","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e10% of this sale is donated to GoodWeave, a world leader in the fight against child labor.

After decades in the home, old Bijars show little appreciable signs of wear, still perform and present beautifully. Tiresome eye-rolling cliches aside, many are heirlooms, in the truest sense, and passed on within families.

Organized production in the city of Hamadan began in ~1911 with OCM establishing operations there under the guidance of weighty expert Cecil Edwards, before interruption, (i.e., devastation) of the \"Great War\" (World War I). Most of the Hamadan city production was in larger format, double wefted rugs designated \"Alvand\" quality. Alvand was chosen in honor of Mt Alvand, at 11,750, which provided for agriculture for the area. In response, the ever astute and industrious Persian villagers began their own home production creating distinctive patterns and weaves.  Experts assert that at peak production there were over 1500 different village producing rugs and surrounding communities. The vast majority of Hamadan village rugs from the era were single wefted, on a cotton foundation, often all vegetal dyed, and in small format ranging from little 2 x 3 mats to 5 x 7. Of course, there were exceptions, some were double wefted like Hamadan shahrbafts, some were palace size like Bibikabad, and some had wool warps and\/or wefts like those woven before the 20th century and many Kurdish rugs that are often attributed as part of the Hamadan family of rugs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThank you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Rugs","offers":[{"title":"3'7\" x 6'10\" \/ Blue \/ Ivory","offer_id":21158183993398,"sku":"PHK37610","price":2950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/3963\/8070\/products\/DNUIMG_6839.jpg?v=1571774851"},{"product_id":"persian-iranian-handmade-rug-3","title":"Antique Kurdish Khamseh","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10% of this sale is donated to GoodWeave, a world leader in the fight against child labor.

Overlooked and overshadowed during the Neo-Classical period of 1875-1941 by their orchestrated and majestic counterparts in palace sizes from the great Persian workshops, Hamadan rugs were mostly produced by women villagers for supplementary income as time allowed, mostly off season. Organized production in the city of Hamadan began in ~1911 with OCM establishing operations there under the guidance of weighty expert Cecil Edwards, before interruption, (i.e., devastation) of the \"Great War\" (World War I) . Most of the Hamadan city production was in larger format, double wefted rugs designated \"Alvand\" quality. In response, the ever astute and industrious Persian villagers began their own home production creating distinctive patterns and weaves.  Experts assert that at peak production there were over 1500 different village producing rugs and surrounding communities. The vast majority of Hamadan village rugs from the era were single wefted, on a cotton foundation, and small format ranging from little 2 x 3 mats to 5 x 7. Of course, there were exceptions, some were double wefted, some were palace size, and some had wool warps and\/or wefts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTuisarkan village rugs are still made today in a similar weave and pattern and are often attractive, of interest, and reasonably priced, but the finessed detail and vegetal colors of the older ones have a unique presence of charm and dignity that set them apart. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThank you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46883446194480,"sku":"","price":2250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/3963\/8070\/files\/6697C0F5-5C4A-4485-A2BF-B87986300979_1_201_a.heic?v=1696314038"},{"product_id":"bakhtiari","title":"Antique Chahar Mahal Bakhtiari Rug","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e10% of this sale is donated to GoodWeave, a world leader in the fight against child labor.

There just isn't enough knot density for the fluidity that floral rugs demand. But, there are always exceptions to the rules, and Borchalu rugs are one of the few that attempt and achieve a convincing floral look within the Hamadan family of rugs. Additionally, typical cottage industry Hamadan size is as a \"Dozar,\" or rather around 4'6\" x 7' size.

Organized production in the city of Hamadan began in ~1911 with OCM establishing operations there under the guidance of weighty expert Cecil Edwards, before interruption, (i.e., devastation) of the \"Great War\" (World War I) . Most of the Hamadan city production was in larger format, double wefted rugs designated \"Alvand\" quality. Alvand was chosen in honor of 11750 ft Mt Alvand, which provided for agriculture in the area. In response, the ever astute and industrious Persian villagers began their own home production creating distinctive patterns and weaves.  Experts assert that at peak production there were over 1500 different village producing rugs and surrounding communities. The vast majority of Hamadan village rugs from the era were single wefted, on a cotton foundation, often all vegetal dyed, and in small format ranging from little 2 x 3 mats to 5 x 7. Of course, there were exceptions, some were double wefted like Hamadan shahrbafts, some were palace size like Bibikabad, and some had wool warps and\/or wefts like those woven before the 20th century and many Kurdish rugs that are often attributed as part of the Hamadan family of rugs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThank you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rubicon Rugs","offers":[{"title":"3-7 x 6-5 \/ Indigo Navy\/Madder Red","offer_id":46944843923760,"sku":null,"price":4200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0172\/3963\/8070\/files\/94FB5EA1-2133-4FBB-B758-F9598868F38A_1_201_a.heic?v=1703228974"}],"url":"https:\/\/rubiconrugs.store\/collections\/persian.oembed?page=5","provider":"Rubicon Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
