About This Hossein-Abad
Where it comes from
A Hamadan village rug from Hossein-Abad, in the west of Iran, 309 x 220 cm (10'2" x 7'3"). Hossein-Abad lies among the many small weaving communities of the Hamadan district, one of the most productive rug-making regions in the country, and its rugs are known for exactly this kind of pattern: a dense, all-over lattice of small floral motifs, drawn freehand by village weavers rather than copied from a workshop cartoon. Most examples fill the whole field with repeat and medallion together. This one holds back, and that restraint is what sets it apart.
What you see
The field opens in a warm brick red, carried edge to edge by a fine diamond lattice in red and navy, each cell holding a small Mahi-style floral device. At the centre sits a single ivory medallion, crisp against the red, and the same cream ground and floral drawing reappear in the four corner spandrels, mirroring the medallion outward rather than adding a second focal point. A wide navy border, edged in a cream guard stripe with small repeating flowers, closes the design firmly and gives the red field something dark to sit against.
How it was made
The rug is knotted by hand onto a cotton foundation, using the single-wefted Sennah baft structure typical of Hamadan weaving, which produces a flat, stable back and a surface that stays true rather than drifting out of line over the decades. The knot count, around 201,000 to 250,000 per square metre, sits at the practical end for the region, not the finest a Persian loom can manage, but even and unhurried, which is exactly what let the weaver hold that lattice so regular across nearly three metres. The wool is hand-spun, and it shows in the slightly ribbed, matt surface rather than any sheen, the kind of honest pile Hamadan is built on.
At home
At just over three by two metres, this is a rug for a dining table or a living room seating group, somewhere the red can be seen in full rather than glimpsed at the edges. Against pale floors it warms the room; against darker furniture the navy border holds its own instead of disappearing into it. The pile is short and dense underfoot, firm rather than soft, a weave made for daily footsteps and not for careful protection. Live with it a while and it's the mirrored corners you keep returning to, that quiet, deliberate symmetry holding the whole red field in order.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 309 × 220 cm (6.80 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
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 6.80 m² that is roughly 1.4 to 1.7 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.
