About This Ahmad-Abad
Where it comes from
This is a Kordi rug, a Kurdish tribal weaving, measuring 300 x 150 cm (9'10" x 4'11"). Kordi rugs are attributed to Kurdish weavers across the arc of western and northeastern Iran, from Kordestan to Khorasan, and are known for a robust, wool-founded structure and geometric character. This piece, from Ahmad-Abad, carries that structure without a single central medallion, its field built from rhythm.
What you see
The field is a deep brick red, darkening toward the centre, divided into columns that alternate medallions and stylised tree-and-star motifs with narrow striped bands, like a woven basket rather than a repeating grid. Dark brown outlines the motifs, cream traces their edges, and sage, forest green, orange-rust and dusty blue-grey appear in small touches. A wide dark brown-black border, filled with rosettes and geometric ornament, closes the field, framed by a narrow red guard stripe and cream meander.
How it was made
Kordi rugs are knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan, on a portable loom, using the symmetric knot on a wool foundation with a cotton warp. That absence of a cartoon explains the field's rhythm: the weaver varied her pace as she worked, alternating medallion columns with striped ones rather than one block. Hand-spun wool, left at ten millimetres, gives the surface its matte, uneven texture, and a knot count of 201,000 to 250,000 per square metre gives the weave substance underfoot.
At home
At 150 cm wide, this rug suits a hallway, a landing, or beside a bed. Its brick red warms a room short on daylight, and the dark border holds its own against pale skirting. The wool is dense and firm underfoot, made to be walked on rather than kept for best. As daylight moves along a corridor, the rust, sage and dusty blue-grey catch differently, keeping the columns' rhythm alive.
Hamadan rugs come from the ancient city of Hamadan (the historic Ecbatana) and its surrounding region of over a thousand villages in western Iran. Woven with the symmetrical (Turkish) knot on a cotton foundation, they are distinguished by their single-weft construction, one weft thread between each row of knots, which creates a characteristic ribbed appearance on the reverse.
Geometric medallion-and-corner layouts, Herati patterns, and boteh (paisley) motifs dominate the design language, rendered in a classic palette of deep reds and blues from madder root and indigo. The sturdy highland wool ensures excellent durability for everyday use.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 300 × 150 cm (4.50 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 4.50 m² that is roughly 0.9 to 1.1 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
