Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug at 10'6" x 3'5" presents a stunning showcase of traditional Herati and Afshan patterns woven in rich madder red with deep navy blue accents. The classic all-over design creates an intricate tapestry of interlocking motifs that have adorned Persian homes for generations, while the narrow runner proportions make this piece ideal for hallways, entryways, or alongside furniture arrangements.
From the historic weaving region of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug carries the authentic legacy of nomadic and village artisans who have perfected their craft over centuries. The Hamadan province, situated along ancient trade routes, became renowned for producing durable rugs with distinctive geometric patterns and robust construction. Local weavers developed their own interpretations of classical Persian designs, creating pieces that blend tribal authenticity with sophisticated urban aesthetics.
The intricate Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or fish design, features diamond-shaped medallions surrounded by curved leaves and stylized fish motifs that symbolize abundance and protection. Combined with the Afshan all-over pattern, this creates a mesmerizing field of repeating elements that flow seamlessly across the rug's surface. Each motif tells a story of Persian cultural heritage, where geometric precision meets artistic expression in perfect harmony.
The magnificent color palette showcases the deep madder red foundation enriched with dark burgundy undertones, while navy blue provides striking contrast alongside cream, ivory, and white highlights. These warm earth tones and cool accents create a sophisticated balance that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. The natural wool fibers have developed a lustrous patina over four decades, giving this semi-antique piece its distinctive character and depth.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece transforms any space with its authentic Persian craftsmanship and timeless beauty. Available exclusively at Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this exceptional runner combines the durability of Hamadan weaving with the elegance of classical Persian design, creating a treasured heirloom that will grace your home for generations to come.
