Hamadan Persian Rugs
This captivating 10'2" x 4'7" semi antique Hamadan runner showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weaving through its striking medallion (Toranj) and intricate Herati (Mahi) patterns. Woven 40-60 years ago in the historic city of Hamadan, this hand-knotted masterpiece displays a rich palette of madder red, ivory, and navy blue as its foundation, beautifully accented by turquoise, burgundy, ochre, forest green, brown, black, and cream threads that create depth and visual intrigue throughout its elongated form.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a renowned carpet weaving center for over a millennium. Known as Ecbatana in antiquity, this historic region developed its distinctive weaving traditions along the Silk Road trade routes, where Persian artisans perfected the robust symmetrical knotting technique evident in this exceptional piece. Hamadan weavers became celebrated for their ability to create durable yet elegant carpets that could withstand the test of time while maintaining their artistic beauty, a tradition clearly exemplified in this semi antique treasure.
The central medallion design represents the cosmic order and divine protection in Persian culture, while the surrounding Herati pattern-featuring fish motifs swimming around diamond-shaped rosettes-symbolizes abundance and prosperity. The madder red ground speaks to the passionate spirit of Persian artistry, while the ivory and navy blue create a sophisticated contrast that has made these color combinations timeless in Persian rug design. Each symmetrical knot was tied by hand using premium natural wool and cotton, creating a texture that feels substantial underfoot while displaying remarkable resilience.
This runner's proportions make it an ideal choice for hallways, kitchen spaces, or as a dramatic accent in entryways where its length can be fully appreciated. The warm madder red foundation paired with cool navy blue creates a balanced aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the ochre and forest green accents add earthen warmth. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this authentic piece as a testament to Persian craftsmanship, where each thread tells a story of cultural heritage and artistic excellence.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted Persian rug, this Hamadan runner brings unparalleled authenticity and character to any space it graces, serving not merely as floor covering but as a piece of living art that connects your home to centuries of Persian weaving mastery.
