The surrounding regions of the north-west Iranian city Hamadan is one of the most productive rug weaving areas in Iran. In each of the many villages (more than 600), unique rugs in a heavy quality with colourful, charming and primitive motifs are manufactured in a variety of sizes and designs. The Hamadan area is mainly turkmenian and the rugs are handknotted using the Turkish knotting technique, i.e. ghiordis. The weave is cotton, while the strong pile is usually heavy and rough-spun pure wool.
Persian carpets and rugs have always been and still are an intrinsic part of Iranian culture and its people's daily lives. Indeed, carpets and rugs are in many cases the most valued possessions, and they are an integral part of an Iranian home.
To look at a Persian carpet is to gaze into a world of artistic magnificence nurtured for more then 2,500 years. The Iranians were among the first carpet weaver of the ancient civilizations and, through centuries of creativity and ingenuity building upon the talents of the past, achieved a unique degree of excellence.
