Paiman Vintage Rug

A 90-year-old Hamadan rug of Herati design, from North West Persia. Glowing pinks and deep blues.

Herati comes from the city of Herat in Afghanistan, formerly the Persian empire. The pattern can be spotted by the rosette enclosed in a diamond, with an ancanthus leaf along each side. Minor losses to ends. 

Buying a vintage rug means getting the craftsmanship and care of centuries of rug making expertise, as with all hand-made things, it allows for a bit of variation and unpredictability. These rugs aren’t perfect but they each have their own story.
