Hamadan is not only one of the oldest cities in Iran, it is also one of civilization's most ancient urban centers. Its origin dates back to several centuries before Christ. In the Hamadan area, 1500 villages specialize in their own designs, creating over 3000 variations. The rug designs are similar in layout, but each design has special characteristics that distinguish it. This is a major industry in the city of Hamadan and the only source of income for thousands of families. Hamadan's rugs are constructed to last a long time. The rug owes its durability to the luxurious looking, yet rugged pile, hand-spun from the wool of hardy sheep raised at high mountain altitudes and cool climate. This gorgeous rug features rich color tones of red, ivory, dark blue, green, black, and brown.
