Safavieh Vintage Hamadan Rug (Red and Multi)

Safavieh Safavieh Vintage Hamadan Rug (Red and Multi)
Braise ratingHighly Recommended
Our verdict

A low-pile, machine-made rug with a faded Persian medallion in deep red, black and cream. It warms a plain floor and makes a small bedroom feel layered and lived-in, for far less than a vintage original.

A vetted pick, chosen for the Braise catalog on merit, never for payment. Here's what earns it a place and who it's for. How we review

How we vetted it

Vetted from Safavieh's style details and retailer listings for this collection. Retailers disagree on a few specs, so we've kept to what they agree on. We haven't owned this rug.

What works well

It's power-loomed polypropylene with a low pile of about half an inch, so it's stain-resistant, easy to vacuum and thin enough for a door to swing over. The traditional Hamadan medallion is printed with a worn, faded finish, so it looks like a rug that's been in the family for years. The 5 ft 3 in by 7 ft 6 in size fits under the lower two-thirds of a queen bed or beside a smaller one.

Why we chose it

  • Vintage look, low price
  • Stain-resistant
  • Low pile, easy to clean
  • Warms a plain floor

In your room

Deep red underfoot warms a plain bedroom more than almost anything else you can change in an afternoon. It anchors the bed in the fall room on our homepage and suits Gothic Romance, Parisian Boudoir and The Study.
