Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Persian runner showcases the enduring artistry of Hamadan's master weavers through its elegant 10'11" x 3'6" proportions and stunning madder red foundation. Dating back 40-60 years, this exceptional hand-knotted piece features the sophisticated interplay of Herati (Mahi) fish motifs swimming gracefully alongside the intricate Afshan all-over pattern, creating a visual symphony that speaks to centuries of Persian weaving tradition.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a crossroads of civilization for over three millennia, and this heritage resonates through every knot of this remarkable runner. Persian weavers from this storied region have perfected their craft across generations, using symmetrical Ghiordes knots to create rugs renowned for their durability and distinctive character. The dense wool pile, sourced from highland sheep and supported by sturdy cotton foundations, ensures this piece will grace your home for generations to come.
The mesmerizing Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or fish design, represents the eternal cycle of life flowing through interconnected diamond lattices, while the Afshan motif creates an enchanting all-over field that draws the eye across the runner's length. Deep navy blue accents provide striking contrast against the rich madder red ground, while cream, black, and ivory details add sophisticated depth and complexity to the overall composition, making each viewing reveal new intricacies.
The carefully balanced palette of madder red, dark red, navy blue, cream, black, and ivory creates a timeless color story that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors with remarkable versatility. This semi antique runner works beautifully in hallways, entryways, or as an elegant accent along kitchen islands, its narrow width making it perfect for spaces that require both style and functionality without overwhelming the room's proportions.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure from Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this Hamadan runner represents not just a floor covering but a piece of Persian cultural heritage that will elevate any space with its authentic beauty and masterful craftsmanship. The natural wool fibers develop a beautiful patina over time, while the traditional fringe adds the perfect finishing touch to this extraordinary example of Persian weaving excellence.
