Description
This antique Hamadan rug carries the honest, hand-drawn look of village weaving from the Enjelas tradition. Its near-square format and full pile give it a solid, comfortable presence.
It is pre-loved and well kept, and still has its full pile, a good sign for a rug woven in the 1920s. Hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, it has the soft hand and sturdy feel that Hamadan rugs are known for.
At 3'11" × 4'4", it fits places a standard runner or area rug cannot. Use it beside a bed, under a small table or chair, in a reading corner, or layered over a larger rug.
History
Hamadan is one of Persia's most prolific weaving regions, encompassing numerous villages that each contribute subtle variation in drawing and palette. Enjelas is a name associated with village weaving in this region.
Rugs from the 1920s reflect village-level weaving traditions, valued for their authenticity and expressive drawing rather than formal workshop precision.
Antique Hamadan rugs are appreciated for their character and approachable durability. Learn more in our guide to rug styles for collectors.
