Hamadan rugs

These rugs were made in eastern Persia, in a district where camel's hair was used for weaving.

There is always a border of plain natural colored camel's hair around the edge. Often the whole field is camel's hair, with a diamond shaped lattice in a darker shade of tan covering it.

There is usually a pole medallion. The texture is rather coarse; the pile long and fluffy.

They are tied with the Ghiordes knot.
