🌸 The Village Weavers of Western Persia — Rare 1920s Persian Hamedan Enjelas Natural Wool Rug

The Hamedan region of western Iran — one of the oldest continuously inhabited regions in the world, ancient Ecbatana, capital of the Median empire — has been a center of rug weaving for centuries. Among the dozens of villages surrounding the city of Hamedan that produced hand-knotted rugs, Enjelas stands out for the distinctive design vocabulary, vibrant color palette, and authentic village weaving character of its output. Hamedan Enjelas rugs from the early 20th century are among the most sought-after categories in western Persian rug collecting, prized for the combination of bold traditional design, high-quality natural wool, and the authentic village craft tradition that produced them. This rare 1920s example, hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, is a beautiful survivor of Enjelas village weaving at its most expressive. 🌿
