Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug at 10'2" x 3'7" presents a stunning medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by the intricate Herati (Mahi) fish motif pattern. The rich madder red field creates a dramatic backdrop for the navy blue medallion, while ivory, burgundy, black, cream, rust red, gold, and green accents dance throughout the composition. Woven between 40-60 years ago using traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this runner exemplifies the enduring artistry of Persian carpet weaving.
The ancient city of Hamadan, known in Persian as åãÏÇä, sits at the crossroads of Persia's historic trade routes, where Kurdish and Persian weavers have created distinctive rugs for over a millennium. Located in the Zagros Mountains, this region became renowned for producing durable, geometric carpets that could withstand the harsh mountain climate while maintaining their vibrant colors. The weavers of Hamadan developed their signature style by combining bold central medallions with densely packed Herati motifs, creating carpets that were both practical for nomadic life and beautiful enough for palace floors.
The Toranj medallion at this rug's heart symbolizes the cosmic order and divine protection in Persian culture, while the surrounding Herati pattern represents abundance and prosperity through its stylized fish swimming among diamond-shaped pools. The masterful use of madder red, derived from the roots of the Rubia plant, creates depth and warmth that has remained vivid through decades of use. Navy blue borders frame the composition, representing wisdom and stability, while the subtle interplay of ivory, gold, and green elements adds sophistication to the overall design.
This exceptional runner length makes it perfect for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a striking accent along a dining room sideboard, where its rich colors can complement both traditional and contemporary furnishings. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic piece that brings the timeless elegance of Persian craftsmanship to modern homes. As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece, this semi-antique Hamadan rug transforms any space with its remarkable blend of historical significance and artistic beauty.
