About the Item

Woven in the Hamadan province of Iran, this traditional Persian carpet is hand-knotted and belongs to Orley Shabahang’s World Market Collection. The hand-knotted construction produces a pile that is soft and plush and a functional and durable foundation. The black, red, blue, orange and pink hues of yarn come from organic vegetable dyes, while the cream and brown tones are all-natural shades of wool. Favored for their vibrant and fade-resistant tones, Persian weavers still prefer these organic dyes. The carpet measures exactly 4'11" x 7'6" and remains in good condition consistent with its age. Orley Shabahang takes pride in selecting and curating the finest vintage and antique carpets, ensuring that the preservation of this ancient art form will endure for generations to come.
