Small Hamadan antique rug (168 x 97cm)

RESERVED #11572 (AS)

168 x 97 cm  //  5ft 6" x 3ft 2"

A small, elegant rug that could be mistaken as nearby Feraghan / Malayer as it resembles the characteristics of having a well proportioned herati design. This rug has had all of its original major borders (damaged) removed and conserved throughout. There are two reweaves in the borders, one at each end. The rug remains in a thin but more than stable condition with parts of the foundation showing in minor places.
