AsadabadHand KnottedRug

Black / Dark redRunner84 x 190 cm

The Asadabad runner originates from the Hamadan region in the Middle East, an area long celebrated for its diverse and prolific weaving traditions. Rugs from this region are known for their sturdy construction and the use of locally sourced Wool, reflecting the rugged and beautiful landscape of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The term hand-knotted refers to the traditional method where each knot is tied individually by the artisan. This technique is the hallmark of quality in rug-making, as it allows for intricate designs and a level of durability that is simply not possible with machine-made alternatives. A hand-knotted rug is a testament to the skill and patience of the weaver.

Visually, Hamadan-style rugs often feature geometric patterns and central medallions, as seen in this runner. These motifs are deeply rooted in local culture and storytelling, often passed down through generations. The use of repeating patterns creates a sense of harmony and balance that makes these rugs highly sought after by collectors and homeowners alike.

Owning a piece from this tradition is an investment in cultural heritage. Because each rug is created by hand, it carries the unique signature of the person who made it, making it far more than just a floor covering. It is a piece of art that brings history and human effort into your home, standing as a lasting example of traditional craftsmanship.

This runner is meticulously hand-knotted by skilled artisans who dedicate significant time to every individual detail. The process of hand-knotting involves thousands of precise movements to secure each strand of Wool onto the foundation. This labour-intensive method ensures that the rug is not only visually stunning but also exceptionally robust.

With a weight of 6.4 kg across its 190 x 84 cm dimensions, this rug demonstrates a dense and substantial construction. This weight is a direct result of the high-quality Wool used and the tight, careful knotting process. Such density is a mark of premium craftsmanship, indicating that the rug has been built to endure daily wear while retaining its plush feel.
