Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional Hamadan Persian runner measuring 10'3" x 2'7" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weaving through its intricate Afshan all-over pattern, where delicate Herati motifs dance across a rich madder red field. The semi antique character of this 40-60 year old masterpiece reveals itself through the natural aging process that has softened its burgundy borders and deepened the navy blue accents, creating a sophisticated patina that speaks of decades of careful craftsmanship.
From the ancient city of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug represents centuries of weaving tradition passed down through generations of master artisans who perfected the symmetrical Ghiordes knot technique. The Hamadan region, known as the crossroads of ancient trade routes, developed a distinctive weaving style that combines durability with artistic excellence, making these rugs treasured possessions in Persian households for their ability to withstand daily use while maintaining their beauty.
The Afshan pattern, meaning "scattered" in Persian, creates a mesmerizing field where traditional Herati fish motifs swim through an ocean of geometric forms, while the Tree of Life elements symbolize eternal growth and spiritual connection. The masterful color palette transitions from deep madder red through burgundy shadows, punctuated by navy blue details and highlighted with touches of cream, rust red, and golden beige that create depth and movement throughout the design.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any hallway, kitchen, or entryway with its perfect runner proportions and rich color story that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. The natural wool pile offers luxurious texture underfoot while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity, ensuring this semi antique treasure from Los Angeles Home of Rugs will continue to grace your home for generations to come.
