Hamadan Rugs
A wonderful pictorial runner. Hamadan town in western Iran is the ancient Persian city of Ecbatana. Around the town are located hundreds of mostly Kurdish villages weaving an incredible variety of rug designs, color palettes and weave qualities. Antique Persian Hamadan rugs are often in runner formats with wide camel tone borders, semi-abstract patterns and top quality local wool. Colors: camel/ivory/beige/blues.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
