Handmade Hamadan Rug 85 x 58 cm - Iran
This Hamadan measuring 85 × 58 cm, in hand-knotted wool, bears an ivory diamond medallion with a burgundy square at its centre, set on a red field scattered with flowers, palmettes and stems; dark spandrels hold the four corners and the ivory border unfurls brown and green leaves, with fringes at both ends.
In a bedroom, this small format sits on the side where you step out of bed, or at its foot, where the fringes mark the arrival on the floor; it also suits an entrance hall or the floor in front of a fireplace. Its wool stands up to everyday traffic in a living space.

Caring for your rug
1Turn it every six months
- Even wear: walkways do not wear out too soon.
- Colour protection: limits UV fading and the oxidation of natural dyes.
- Longevity: a handmade rug that is turned regularly lasts 50 to 100 years without losing its beauty.
2Removing a stain with Marseille soap
No chemicals, in three steps.
- Absorb the excess. For a liquid, gently scrape with a spoon, without rubbing or spreading the stain.
- Apply the soap. Dip a bar of Marseille soap in lukewarm water, rub the stain with circular movements and leave it for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water, then raise the rug on a chair so it dries in the open air. A fan speeds things up; never direct sunlight.
Never use: abrasive sponges or hard brushes, bleach or ammonia. They destroy the fibres and the dyes.
3Drying, the key against mould and moths
A rug that is not dried properly develops a musty smell, white mineral stains and distortions, and attracts dust mites and moths.
- Dry it flat or raised, never folded.
- Air both sides of the rug.
- Leave no moisture behind; use a dryer or a fan if needed.

A handmade rug never dies
No need to worry with a handmade piece: everything can be repaired. A knot can be retied, a fringe rewoven, a border restored. A rug can even be brought back to life ten, thirty or fifty years after it was bought.
With simple care, this one will last for years and be passed on.
For anything beyond everyday care (deep cleaning, repair, restoration), we will be there, even years after your purchase. +33 9 83 89 37 22 or write to us.
Prevents the rug from slipping, protects hardwood floors, and can be cut to size.
The Hamadan rug
Le Hamadan vient de la région d'Hamadan, en Iran. Il est noué main en laine, au nœud symétrique dit turc, avec un velours d'épaisseur moyenne et une structure très compacte, due à une trame en général formée d'un seul fil, d'où sa grande solidité. On le reconnaît le plus souvent à son médaillon central en losange ou en hexagone, prolongé de deux pendentifs, à ses bordures à motifs polygonaux ou végétaux stylisés, et à ses dominantes de bleu, de rouge, de noir et de rose.
