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.
Each village in the area has its traditional colors and specific designs,
though as a group they still have much in common. Rugs made in the
villages around Hamadan tend to be made of high quality wool on a cotton
foundation. 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 has a
small diamond-shaped medallion and 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. These designs in the main
field are in green on a red ground. The border has a green meandering pattern
on a cream ground. (See About
