Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 10'0" x 5'7", showcases the masterful artistry of western Persian weaving traditions through its intricate Herati (Mahi) and Afshan all-over patterns rendered in a stunning palette of madder red, dark red, navy blue, cream, ivory, burgundy, and crimson. The flowing fish motifs of the Herati design dance across the field while the Afshan pattern creates a mesmerizing all-over composition that speaks to the sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities of Hamadan's master weavers.
The ancient city of Hamadan, situated along the historic Silk Road in western Persia, has been a center of exceptional rug weaving for over a millennium, where nomadic and village artisans have passed down their time-honored techniques through generations. This particular piece, aged 40-60 years, represents the golden era of mid-20th century Hamadan production when traditional dyeing methods using natural madder root created those deep, lustrous reds that have become synonymous with Persian rug excellence.
The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi or fish design, carries profound symbolic meaning in Persian culture, representing abundance, protection, and the eternal flow of life, while the complementary Afshan motifs create a garden-like tapestry that transforms any interior space into a sanctuary of Eastern elegance. The rich interplay of warm madder reds against the cool navy blue creates a visual depth that anchors furniture beautifully while the cream and ivory accents provide sophisticated contrast.
At 10 feet by 5.7 feet, this distinctive runner-style proportion makes it ideal for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a striking accent beneath dining tables and in entryways where its semi antique character adds instant sophistication. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless beauty. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional Hamadan treasure, where each symmetrical Ghiordes knot tells the story of Persian craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of Hamadan's weaving masters.
