Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 10'0" x 3'9" showcases the distinctive artistry of Persia's ancient weaving traditions with its stunning medallion (Toranj) and intricate Herati (Mahi) patterns. The elongated proportions make it an exceptional choice for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a striking runner along staircases, where its rich madder red field creates a dramatic focal point against any interior palette.
Hamadan, one of Persia's most celebrated rug-weaving regions, has been producing exceptional carpets since the 16th century in the foothills of the Alvand Mountains. This particular piece represents 40-60 years of careful aging, allowing the natural wool fibers to develop the lustrous patina that collectors prize. The weavers of this region are renowned for their mastery of the symmetrical Ghiordes knot, creating carpets of remarkable durability that have graced Persian homes for generations.
The central medallion bursts forth in deep madder red, surrounded by an enchanting dance of navy blue and cream geometric motifs that draw the eye inward. The classic Herati pattern, known as the "fish design," fills the field with delicate diamond shapes containing stylized fish, symbolizing abundance and good fortune in Persian culture. Accents of ivory, dark red, burgundy, orange, and ochre create subtle color variations throughout, while black outlines provide crisp definition to each motif.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and exceptional craftsmanship, representing months of meticulous work by skilled artisans. The natural wool construction ensures both beauty and longevity, while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity. At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we are honored to present this remarkable example of Hamadan weaving excellence, complete with traditional fringed edges that speak to its authentic origins and time-honored construction methods.
