Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian runner, measuring 10'2" x 2'7", showcases the timeless beauty of traditional Persian craftsmanship with its intricate Herati (Mahi) motif dancing across a rich madder red field. The sophisticated diamond lattice pattern creates a mesmerizing visual rhythm, while delicate cream and navy blue accents highlight the masterful artistry that has made Hamadan weavers legendary throughout Persia for centuries.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a crossroads of civilization for over 3,000 years, where skilled artisans have perfected their weaving techniques through countless generations. This particular runner represents the pinnacle of mid-20th century Persian weaving, with its symmetrical Ghiordes knots creating a dense, durable foundation that has allowed the vibrant colors to retain their brilliance for 40-60 years.
The Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi design, features stylized fish motifs swimming around diamond-shaped medallions, symbolizing abundance and protection in Persian culture. The interplay of madder red, ivory, dark red, and black creates a sophisticated color palette that speaks to the weaver's mastery of natural dyes, while the navy blue borders frame the composition with regal elegance.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize that this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any hallway, kitchen, or narrow space with its perfect proportions and timeless appeal. The natural wool pile offers luxurious comfort underfoot, while the cotton foundation ensures structural integrity that will endure for generations to come.
This exceptional runner bridges the gap between traditional Persian artistry and contemporary interior design, making it an ideal choice for collectors who appreciate authentic craftsmanship and homeowners seeking to add sophisticated elegance to their living spaces.
