Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 10'0" x 3'3", presents an exquisite Herati (Mahi) and Afshan all-over pattern that showcases the masterful weaving traditions of Persia's ancient Hamadan region. The rug's elongated runner proportions make it an ideal choice for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a dramatic accent along staircases, where its rich madder red field creates a stunning visual pathway enhanced by intricate cream and navy blue botanical motifs.
The historic city of Hamadan, one of Persia's oldest weaving centers dating back over 2,000 years, has produced rugs renowned for their durability and distinctive design vocabulary. This particular piece exemplifies the region's celebrated Herati pattern, featuring the classic fish (mahi) motif surrounded by diamond-shaped rosettes, while the Afshan design creates an all-over floral tapestry that flows seamlessly across the rug's surface. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots and natural wool foundation ensure this piece will maintain its beauty for generations.
The sophisticated color palette combines deep madder red as the dominant field color, accented by soft cream highlights that illuminate the intricate pattern work. Navy blue provides striking contrast throughout the border and field elements, while touches of ivory, dark red, and gold create depth and luminosity. This harmonious blend reflects the natural dyes traditionally used in Hamadan workshops, where weavers developed these rich color combinations over centuries of refinement.
With its 40-60 year semi antique status, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug carries the character and patina that only time can bestow, elevating any space with its authentic Persian heritage. The runner's versatile dimensions work beautifully in contemporary homes, whether anchoring a modern entryway, defining a kitchen workspace, or adding warmth to a minimalist hallway. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece that represents the enduring artistry of Persian carpet weaving.
The natural wool construction provides both comfort and resilience, while the cotton foundation ensures structural integrity and prevents stretching over time. This Hamadan runner offers collectors and decorators alike the opportunity to own a piece of Persian textile history that combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless design appeal, making it equally suited for formal or casual interior settings.
