Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug at 10'4" x 3'3" presents a masterful interpretation of the classic Herati (Mahi) pattern, woven during Persia's golden era of textile artistry between 1964-1984. The elongated runner format showcases the intricate fish and palmette motifs against a rich madder red field, complemented by sophisticated accents of cream, navy blue, and burgundy that create depth and visual movement throughout the piece.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in Persia's Zagros Mountains, has been renowned for its exceptional rug weaving traditions for over two millennia. This historic region, once the summer capital of the Achaemenid Empire, developed distinctive weaving techniques that emphasized durability and artistic excellence. Local artisans utilized the abundant natural wool from highland sheep and employed time-honored symmetrical knotting methods, creating rugs that could withstand generations of use while maintaining their vibrant beauty and structural integrity.
The Herati pattern adorning this runner carries profound cultural significance, with its stylized fish motifs (mahi) symbolizing abundance and prosperity in Persian tradition. The central medallion (toranj) represents the cosmic order, while the surrounding geometric elements create a harmonious balance between earth and sky. The sophisticated color palette of beige, turquoise, dark red, brown, and black demonstrates the weaver's mastery in creating visual depth through carefully graduated tones that enhance the overall design narrative.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted runner elevates any hallway, galley kitchen, or narrow space with its commanding presence and authentic Persian character. The 10-foot length provides excellent coverage for long corridors while the 3-foot width maintains perfect proportions without overwhelming the space. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece, where the natural wool construction ensures lasting comfort underfoot and the cotton foundation provides structural stability for decades of enjoyment in contemporary or traditional interior settings.
