Hamadan is a city situated in the western part of Iran, 300 kilometers west of Teheran. It is one of the world’s oldest cities and is mentioned under the name of Ekbatana in the Bible. The city is a center for trading with carpets that are manufactured in the hundreds from nearby villages and cities. The best of these carpets are sold under their own names such as Nahavand, Tuiserkan, Malayer and Hosseinabad. Simpler carpets from the area are sold under the generic term Hamadan. They are easily recognized with their typical patterns and sizes. Among individual patterns the Herati is the most common pattern. The colors are dominated by different nuances of indigo blue and madder red. Older Hamadan carpets can be extremely attractive products. In the city of Hamadan, carpets were manufactured with a considerably higher quality.
