Known for their durability and bold, individualistic designs, Hamadan rugs are highly versatile and fit perfectly into both modern and traditional interiors.

The rug features a prominent, elongated hexagon medallion in ivory and deep red, anchored against a rich, dark navy field. The "stepping" geometric patterns within the medallion are typical of village craftsmanship from the early 20th century. The borders are beautifully detailed with a repeating floral and vine motif that provides a crisp, balanced frame to the darker central field.
