Hossein-Abad Rugs

Hossein-Abad is a village in the Hamadan weaving region of western Iran, one of countless small communities that together make the Hamadan area one of the world's most productive rug-weaving zones. Like its neighbors in the Hamadan district, Hossein-Abad rugs are woven with the single-weft (Sennah Baft) technique on cotton foundations, giving them a consistent, practical structure.

Designs are village-style and geometric, typically all-over patterns or simple medallion formats drawn from Kurdish and Hamadan traditions. The wool quality varies but tends toward the honest and serviceable, with natural colors and a handmade character that feels genuine rather than commercial.

A Hossein-Abad rug is an honest, affordable piece of Persian weaving heritage, practical, characterful, and genuinely handmade by village artisans working in a tradition centuries old.
