Hamadan
The old city of Echatana in southern Azerhaijan province, Persia. Rugs called ‘Hamadan’ are not made in the city, but only marketed there. They are woven in 100’s of Kurdish villages and tribal encampments in the surrounding area, in a welter of designs and qualities. Pile is all wool on a wool or cotton foundation, knots Turkish with semi-geometric to semi-floral designs, in sizes tending to scatters and runners. The best old pieces have camel border and fields (see Hamadan-Camel). Production of these inexpensive rugs continues unabated, and many 1000’s of them are woven annually.
