A type of handwoven carpet or rug from Hamadan, a city in northwestern Iran, known for their geometric patterns and durability.
From Hamadan (Hamedan), the Persian city where these carpets have been woven for centuries. The city's name has Iranian roots and the carpet tradition is a major part of the region's cultural and economic heritage.
Hamadan carpets are so durable and affordable compared to other Persian rugs that they've become the standard 'starter' Persian carpet for collectors, and the city's weavers have been perfecting their craft for over 1,000 years.
