Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent Hamadan Persian runner measuring 10'4" x 2'9" showcases the exceptional artistry of semi antique Persian weaving from four to six decades past. The stunning medallion design, known as Toranj in Persian tradition, commands attention with its rich madder red and deep burgundy foundation, beautifully contrasted by cream and navy blue accents that create visual depth throughout the narrow format. The intricate Herati pattern, called Mahi (fish) motif in Persian, flows gracefully around the central medallion with delicate ivory and burnt orange highlights that speak to the masterful dyeing techniques of mid-20th century Hamadan workshops.
The ancient city of Hamadan, located in western Persia along historic trade routes, has been renowned for its distinctive rug weaving traditions for over eight centuries. Persian weavers in this region developed their signature style using locally sourced wool from highland sheep, creating pieces known for their durability and rich color palette. This semi antique runner represents the golden era of Hamadan production when master weavers perfected the balance between traditional Persian motifs and practical functionality for Persian homes.
The medallion centerpiece symbolizes the cosmic order in Persian culture, while the surrounding Herati pattern represents abundance and protection flowing through the home. The sophisticated color story moves from dominant madder red through burgundy depths to Persian blue accents, with touches of dark red and ochre creating warmth against the ivory details. These natural wool dyes have aged gracefully over decades, developing the subtle patina that collectors prize in semi antique Persian pieces.
In contemporary interiors, this 10'4" x 2'9" foot runner transforms hallways, galley kitchens, or long entryways into spaces of Persian elegance and cultural significance. The narrow proportions make it perfect for defining pathways while the rich color palette complements both traditional and modern furnishings with equal sophistication. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional piece as a testament to Persian weaving heritage and artistic excellence.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian character and timeless appeal, representing generations of weaving expertise passed down through Hamadan artisan families. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots and natural cotton foundation ensure longevity while the genuine fringe details complete this remarkable example of semi antique Persian craftsmanship.
