Found warmth

The 2.5x4 Vintage Hamadan Rug

Vintage color, lived character

Homes often need a welcoming note that fits a modest footprint yet feels intentional. This 2.5' x 4'2" Vintage Hamadan brings saturated, gem-like color without overwhelming a room. Even, short pile and secured sides and ends make it a dependable daily companion while the lightly tattered reverse selvage hints at the life it has lived.

Quiet drama underfoot

A small rug placed where people pause—the sink, the bedside, the entry—changes the rhythm of a home. The quatrefoil medallion and partial Herati field draw the eye, while ruby, cherry, powder blue, and deep blush soften hard surfaces. Recently professionally cleaned, it’s ready to anchor real moments on real floors.

For the collector of moments

Someone seeking a compact Persian vintage piece with rich color to ground an entry, kitchen, studio, or reading corner.

Where it lives

Lay at a doorway or beside the bed to bring warmth and pattern to a high-touch spot without crowding the space.
