Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug at 10'12" x 5'4" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weavers through its striking medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by intricate Herati (Mahi) motifs. The deep madder red field creates a dramatic foundation, while navy blue and ivory accents dance throughout the design, complemented by rich burgundy, dark red, and crimson tones that speak to generations of weaving mastery. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic Persian character and sophisticated color harmony.
The ancient city of Hamadan, located in western Persia, has been a crossroads of civilization for over three millennia, where Kurdish and Persian weavers have perfected their craft along the historic Silk Road. This semi antique piece, aged 40-60 years, carries the distinctive characteristics of Hamadan workshops: robust construction using symmetrical Ghiordes knots, naturally dyed wool in traditional colorways, and the enduring geometric precision that has made these rugs treasured worldwide. The region's high-altitude climate and mineral-rich waters contribute to the exceptional quality of both the wool and the natural dyes used in these remarkable textiles.
The central medallion (Toranj) represents the dome of heaven in Persian cosmology, while the surrounding Herati pattern, known as "Mahi" or fish design, symbolizes abundance and prosperity flowing through life like water. The deep madder red ground signifies joy and celebration, while the navy blue elements represent wisdom and nobility, creating a perfect balance of earthly and spiritual symbolism. Royal blue and cream accents add layers of meaning, with wine red details completing this rich tapestry of Persian cultural expression.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we understand that this 10'12" x 5'4" foot size makes it ideal for defining dining spaces, anchoring seating areas, or creating a warm welcome in entryways and hallways. The rich color palette of madder red, navy blue, and ivory works beautifully with both traditional and contemporary furnishings, while the burgundy and crimson accents add depth without overwhelming smaller spaces. This semi antique Hamadan rug brings authentic Persian heritage into modern homes, where its handwoven character and natural wool construction continue the centuries-old tradition of creating functional art for daily living.
