Hamadan همدان

Hamadan is a city in west-central Iran whose bazaar markets rugs from a large district of villages, each with its own stock patterns. Older Hamadan rugs have a cotton foundation with a single weft after each row of symmetric knots, and natural camel hair often forms a broad band in the pile. Iranica attributes most such camel-hair rugs to the Qaragozlu tribe; single wefting separates them from the double-wefted camel-hair rugs of Sarab.
