Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 10'0" x 6'11" showcases the time-honored weaving traditions of Persia's ancient carpet-making centers. Woven with meticulous care using 100% natural wool and cotton foundation, this exceptional piece displays the classic medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by intricate Herati (Mahi) motifs that have adorned Persian homes for centuries. The rich madder red field creates a warm foundation, beautifully complemented by navy blue borders and delicate cream accents throughout the intricate design.
The historic region of Hamadan has been renowned for producing some of Persia's most distinctive rugs since the medieval period, with local artisans passing down their specialized knotting techniques through generations. This particular rug represents the pinnacle of mid-20th century Hamadan craftsmanship, featuring the symmetrical Ghiordes knots that create the dense, durable pile characteristic of this celebrated weaving tradition. The semi antique age of 40-60 years has allowed the natural dyes to achieve their full depth and complexity, creating subtle variations in tone that machine-made reproductions cannot replicate.
The central medallion design holds deep cultural significance in Persian carpet art, representing the cosmic order and divine harmony that governs the universe. Surrounding this focal point, the traditional Herati pattern creates an endless garden of stylized fish and rosettes, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The sophisticated color palette combines warm madder red with cooling navy blue, while cream, beige, and ivory details add luminous highlights that catch and reflect light beautifully throughout the day.
At 10'0" x 6'11", this versatile size makes it perfect for anchoring a dining room, creating an elegant foundation in a living room, or adding warmth to a master bedroom. The rich color combination works beautifully with both traditional furnishings and contemporary décor, while the authentic patina speaks to generations of skilled craftsmanship. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional piece that represents true Persian artistry at its finest.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its perfect balance of artistic beauty and functional durability, featuring natural cotton fringe that frames the intricate design with authentic traditional detail.
