Navy Medallion Persian Rug · 1200 Reeds

Heritage & inspiration

Hamadan province, western Iran, is one of the largest carpet-producing regions in the country — home to hundreds of weaving villages active from the late 19th century to the present. Unlike the urban court traditions (Tabriz, Kashan, Kerman, Mashhad), Hamadan-region weaving is fundamentally workshop and village: simpler border systems, slightly less refined floral drawing, palettes that lean toward what was available locally rather than what was prescribed by court taste. Malayer is the most refined of the Hamadan sub-traditions; Hamadan town itself produces a more rustic market register.

That regional honesty translates well to a medallion-on-navy 1200 Reeds piece. The Hamadan register reads as Persian-tradition without invoking court ceremony — the rug works in rooms that have traditional bones but transitional rather than formal furnishing.

Distinct from the cohort's Ardabil anchor (canonical Safavid court), Mashhad sibling (eastern-Iran refined court), Lavar Kerman sibling (south-central court fine-weave), and Hadji Jalili sibling (Tabriz master atelier). The Hamadan register is the cohort's regional-workshop Navy — the rug for rooms that don't want to read museum-quoted.

• Metal: aged brass, weathered iron, antique gold — patinated metals
• Rooms: transitional living rooms, libraries with mixed casegoods, primary bedrooms with traditional-rustic furniture, dining rooms with farmhouse or trestle tables

Best for · skip if

Best for: rooms wanting Persian-tradition vocabulary without court formality — the Hamadan register is the cohort's most relaxed Navy and the natural choice for transitional rooms.

Skip if the brief is ceremonial court (use the Ardabil anchor), connoisseur-refined (use the Hadji Jalili sibling), or painterly elegance (use the Lavar Kerman sibling).

This piece sits in the easy-care performance family — high-density polypropylene or polyester pile on a cotton foundation, precision machine-woven for sharp pattern definition with hand-finished edges. The construction is purpose-built for family-friendly living: stain-resistant, fade-resistant, low-maintenance, and forgiving of regular vacuuming and spot cleaning.

Patterns are inspired by Persian, Kashan, Tabriz, and Turkmen design vocabularies — reinterpreted in a soft synthetic blend that performs in high-traffic rooms without the maintenance commitment of a hand-knotted wool piece.

5×7.5 ft (150×230 cm, 3.5 m²) — entry rooms, small bedrooms, and sitting areas.

6.5×10 ft (200×300 cm, 6 m²) — medium living rooms and bedrooms with furniture partially on the rug.

8.2×11.5 ft (250×350 cm, 9 m²) — large living rooms and formal dining rooms (all furniture sitting on the rug).

10×13 ft (300×400 cm, 12 m²) — open floor plans and great rooms.

Styling tip: a rug should extend 18–24 inches beyond the sofa on each side for a balanced look.

• Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off to protect the pile
• Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (don't rub)
• Rotate the rug 180° every 6 months for even wear
• Professional clean every 12–18 months
• Use a quality rug pad on hardwood for cushion and to extend life
