Hamadan Persian Rugs
This extraordinary antique Hamadan runner measuring 10'4" x 3'5" presents a masterful display of traditional Persian artistry, with its commanding medallion (Toranj) design set against a rich madder red field complemented by navy blue, ivory, and burgundy accents. The geometric precision of the Herati (Mahi) motifs creates an intricate secondary pattern that speaks to the sophisticated weaving traditions of the Hamadan region, while touches of rust red, ochre, turquoise, and brown add depth and warmth to this remarkable piece.
From the ancient city of åãÏÇä (Hamadan) in western Persia, this rug represents six decades of cultural heritage from one of the most storied carpet-weaving regions in the Persian empire. The Hamadan province has been renowned since antiquity for producing rugs that combine nomadic vigor with urban refinement, and the weavers of this region have perfected the art of creating durable, beautiful carpets that capture the essence of Persian design philosophy through their distinctive use of symmetrical knotting and bold geometric patterns.
The medallion design at the heart of this antique runner symbolizes the cosmic center and divine protection in Persian culture, while the surrounding Herati pattern represents the abundance of fish swimming beneath lotus blossoms - a motif that has adorned Persian textiles for over a millennium. Each knot in this hand-woven masterpiece tells a story of patient craftsmanship, with the natural wool displaying the beautiful patina that only comes with age and careful preservation over more than sixty years.
The sophisticated color palette of madder red and navy blue creates a foundation of timeless elegance, while the ivory border elements provide crisp definition that enhances the rug's architectural qualities. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted Persian runner elevates any hallway, kitchen, or entryway with its perfect proportions and authentic character, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate genuine Persian artistry. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional antique piece that represents the finest traditions of Hamadan weaving, bringing both historical significance and enduring beauty to contemporary interiors with its perfectly balanced composition and rich, saturated colors that have deepened beautifully over time.
