Hosseinabad rugs are hand woven in the Hamadan Province of western Iran. The majority of Hosseinabad rugs are very long rug runners. They are tribal rugs that are hand woven by semi-nomadic people. Hosseinabad rugs are extremely durable and long lasting due in large part to the quality of the wool, which is spun from sheep living in higher altitudes with cooler temperatures. The local artisans weave very high quality rug runners primarily using the Turkish symmetrical knot with an average KPSI (knots per square inch) of approximately 82.
History
Hosseinabad is a village located in the Hamadan Province of western Iran. Hosseinabad rugs are known in the market from the first quarter of the twentieth century. They are categorized as Mosul Hamadan. Hosseinabad rugs are slightly larger than most Mosul Rugs, at approximately seven feet by five feet, whereas most Mosuls are about six feet by four feet in size. The rugs have a cotton foundation and a wool pile. The Turkish (symmetric) knot is used.
Hosseinabad rugs have semigeometric designs in medallion or allover layouts. The styles feature the traditional Herati (fish) motif for the field. The medallion style has a small diamond shape with medallion quarters in the field corners. The allover design rugs also have quarter-medallion corners. The main border has motifs of large stylized flower heads surrounded by leaves, flowers, and vines. Occasionally, the Seraband Boteh (paisley) border design is used.
The background colors are most often reds, with a small percentage woven in ivory or dark blue. In addition to these colors, blues, browns, camel, gold, and greens are used for the borders, medallion, and design elements. Dark blue or dark brown is utilized for the design outlines.
Hosseinabad formats range from small mats to rugs approximately seven feet by five feet. A small percentage of runners and gallery sizes were woven up to approximately twelve feet in length. In the late twentieth century small room-sizes were also made for the European market. Hosseinabad weavings are generally good to very good in grade quality.
By the last quarter of the twentieth century, some Hosseinabad weavers changed from weaving traditional designs to patterns similar to those of neighboring areas in accordance with domestic and foreign export demand.[1]
