The villages in and around the famous Hamadan knotting region of West Persia has for long been renowned as the origin for some of the most consistently outstanding examples of this broad generic classification. Knotted in glossy, longstapled local wool that is handspun in the village, and owing its glowing richness and diversity of colour to the secret arts of the Hamadan village dye-masters who adhere rigorously to the time honoured methods unique to the Kurdish territories of western Persia, this is a definitive specimen of the Sharebaft Hamadan carpet at its most accomplished and authentic level.


It is extremely rare to find a rug like this on today's carpet market. It impresses with its pleasant earthy tones and decorative flair. The beauty of this rug is emphasised by its careful cleaning. It is a Sherekat Fars rug that was knotted before 1979.
