Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug at 10'4" x 6'11" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weaving with its striking medallion (Toranj) and intricate Herati (Mahi) motifs. The rich madder red field creates a dramatic foundation, beautifully complemented by cream, navy blue, and burgundy accents that weave throughout the traditional patterns. At 40-60 years old, this hand-knotted masterpiece has developed the perfect patina that only authentic Persian rugs achieve through decades of careful aging.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the western mountains of Persia, has been a center of exceptional rug weaving for over a millennium. Master weavers from this historic region are renowned for their robust symmetrical knotting technique and their ability to create rugs that balance bold colors with sophisticated design elements. The Herati pattern, featuring small fish swimming around a diamond medallion, represents abundance and protection in Persian culture, while the central medallion serves as a window to paradise in traditional Persian symbolism.
The sophisticated color palette of this semi-antique piece features deep madder red as the dominant tone, enhanced by ivory borders and navy blue geometric elements that create visual depth and movement. Burgundy and dark red accents add richness to the overall composition, while touches of black, brown, and gold provide subtle contrast that highlights the intricate knotwork. This carefully balanced chromatic scheme reflects the natural dyes traditionally used in Hamadan workshops, creating colors that have only grown more beautiful with age.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug elevates any living space with its perfect medium size that works beautifully as a focal point in dining rooms, studies, or as an elegant foundation piece in larger living areas. The 10'4" x 6'11" foot dimensions make it ideal for anchoring furniture arrangements while leaving enough floor space to showcase the rug's magnificent borders. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional example of Persian craftsmanship, where each knot represents generations of weaving tradition passed down through master artisans in the historic workshops of Hamadan.
