About This Rug |
||
|
Hosseinabad is a
village in the area around Hamadan, an ancient city that lies in the rugged
mountainous region of northwestern Iran, next to the province of Kurdistan. Hamadan village
rugs are made of high quality wool on a cotton foundation. Each village in
the area has its traditional colors and specific designs. Reds, blues, and
whites are usually the dominant colors in Hamadan rugs, with green, gold and
yellow as secondary colors. Designs are bold and geometric, and can include
hexagonal and diamond-shaped designs, sharply angled medallions, and zigzag
“lightning” patterns. Geometric adaptations of classical floral, boteh, and
herati designs are also commonly used. This rug shows a
geometric rendition of the classical Persian herati design. The Herati
design consists of single floral head within a diamond framework flanked by
four outwardly curving leaves. The rug also has a very nice sheen to it,
which will cause the rug to seem to change colors when viewed from different
angles. (See About
