Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 10'10" x 3'9" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian medallion weaving with its striking madder red field adorned with an intricate central toranj medallion surrounded by delicate herati mahi motifs. The sophisticated palette of navy blue, cream, burgundy, and gold creates a harmonious dance of colors that speaks to decades of careful aging and masterful craftsmanship from the renowned weaving region of Hamadan.
The ancient city of Hamadan, known in Persian as åãÏÇä, sits along the historic Silk Road in western Persia and has been a center of exceptional rug weaving for over a millennium. This particular runner represents the golden age of Hamadan production from 40-60 years ago, when skilled artisans employed traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knots to create rugs of remarkable durability and beauty. The geometric precision of the medallion design reflects the mathematical heritage of Persian art, while the flowing herati pattern symbolizes the abundance of fish swimming in streams of prosperity.
The rich madder red ground color, achieved through natural dye extracted from the madder root, provides a warm and inviting foundation that beautifully complements the navy blue and cream border elements. Accents of burgundy, gold, black, ivory, and yellow create depth and visual interest throughout the design, with each color carrying symbolic meaning in Persian culture - red for joy and beauty, blue for solitude and truth, cream for purity and peace.
This exceptional runner format makes it perfectly suited for hallways, galley kitchens, or alongside beds and sofas, where its narrow proportions create elegant pathways while adding sophisticated Persian character to any space. The natural wool construction ensures both comfort underfoot and remarkable longevity, while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity that has allowed this treasure to maintain its beauty for decades.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece available through Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this semi-antique Hamadan runner offers the perfect opportunity to introduce authentic Persian artistry into your home, where its timeless medallion design and rich color story will create a focal point that elevates any interior with the warmth and sophistication that only genuine Persian rugs can provide.
