Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 10'4" x 3'9" showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from four to six decades ago. The rich dark red and madder red foundation creates a dramatic canvas adorned with the timeless Herati (Mahi) and Afshan all-over patterns, where burgundy and navy blue accents dance alongside cream, ivory, and gold highlights. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any hallway, kitchen, or narrow living space with its sophisticated Persian heritage and meticulous craftsmanship.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been renowned for its rug weaving traditions since the medieval period. Persian artisans in this historic region have passed down their weaving secrets through generations, creating rugs distinguished by their robust construction and distinctive geometric motifs. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this piece reflect the technical mastery that has made Hamadan carpets treasured possessions in Persian households for centuries.
The intricate Herati pattern, also known as Mahi (fish), features diamond medallions surrounded by curved leaves and rosettes that seem to swim across the field like schools of fish in a Persian garden pond. Combined with the Afshan all-over design, these motifs create a mesmerizing visual rhythm that speaks to Persia's ancient connection to nature and water. The rust red and black outlines define each element with precision, while the golden threads add luminous depth to this textile masterpiece.
The sophisticated color palette of this semi antique piece tells a story of Persian dye mastery, where natural madder root creates the deep reds and burgundy tones that have made Persian rugs legendary worldwide. The cream and ivory accents provide perfect contrast against the darker hues, while the navy blue elements add regal sophistication. This harmonious blend of warm and cool tones makes the rug incredibly versatile for both traditional and contemporary Persian interior design.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this narrow format Hamadan rug offers perfect proportions for galley kitchens, long hallways, or as a stunning runner beside a bed or sofa. The 10'4" x 3'9" foot dimensions provide generous coverage while maintaining elegant proportions in smaller spaces. The natural wool construction and cotton foundation ensure durability and comfort underfoot, while the authentic fringe adds the finishing touch that distinguishes genuine Persian craftsmanship from machine-made imitations.
