Not to be pedantic, but the town is called "Hamadan". I guess a Hamadan Zagheh comes from somewhere between Hamadan and Zagheh. Who knows? But the style is definitely Afghani rather than Persian—thus the referance to a "Herati" pattern—presumably.
I only know this because years ago, in another life, I met a Dutch girl in Herat who liked to stick her fingers in a dyke and knew a lot about carpets.
