Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measures 10'6" x 3'1", making it an ideal runner for hallways, galleries, or kitchen spaces where its elongated proportions create dramatic visual impact. Dating from 40-60 years ago, this handwoven masterpiece showcases the rich navy blue and madder red palette that Hamadan weavers perfected over centuries, complemented by cream, ivory, burgundy, gold, rust red, black, green, and turquoise accents that dance across the wool surface.
The ancient city of Hamadan, known as Ecbatana in antiquity, served as the summer capital of the Persian Empire and remains one of Persia's most celebrated rug-weaving centers. Hamadan's strategic position along the Silk Road exposed local artisans to diverse cultural influences, resulting in the sophisticated design vocabulary seen in this exceptional piece. The region's highland climate and abundant sheep provided the perfect conditions for producing the lustrous wool that gives Hamadan rugs their distinctive character and durability.
The intricate Afshan all-over pattern covers every inch of this runner with delicate floral motifs, while the traditional Herati design elements-featuring fish and diamond shapes-flow seamlessly throughout the composition. This composite design approach demonstrates the weaver's mastery, as each motif must be perfectly balanced to create the harmonious visual rhythm that makes Afshan patterns so captivating. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots ensure exceptional durability, while the natural cotton foundation provides stable structure for generations of use.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure that elevates any space with its sophisticated color harmony and timeless Persian craftsmanship. The deep navy blue represents the infinite sky and eternal wisdom in Persian culture, while the madder red symbolizes courage and life force, creating a powerful emotional resonance. The golden threads catch light beautifully, adding warmth and luminosity that transforms throughout the day.
This semi antique runner brings museum-quality artistry to contemporary homes, whether placed in a grand foyer, along a dining room sideboard, or defining a kitchen workspace. The narrow width and substantial length make it perfect for spaces where you want to guide movement while adding luxurious texture and color. The natural wool fibers age gracefully, developing a beautiful patina that enhances the rug's character and investment value over time.
