Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hamadan Persian runner at 10'6" x 3'9" presents a magnificent display of traditional Herati motifs dancing across a luminous madder red field. The intricate Mahi pattern, combined with central medallion designs, creates a mesmerizing visual journey that speaks to forty to sixty years of masterful Persian craftsmanship. Rich navy blue borders frame the composition while cream, burgundy, and ivory accents weave through the design, creating depth and movement that captures light beautifully throughout the day.
The historic weaving traditions of Hamadan province have flourished for over eight centuries, with master artisans developing distinctive techniques passed down through generations of Persian families. This particular runner showcases the region's signature symmetrical Ghiordes knotting method, creating exceptional durability while maintaining the subtle irregularities that distinguish authentic hand-knotted work from machine production. The natural wool foundation, combined with cotton structural elements, ensures this piece will continue to develop character and patina for decades to come.
The classical Herati pattern, known locally as the Mahi or fish design, carries profound symbolic meaning representing abundance, protection, and the eternal flow of life through Persian households. Each diamond-shaped motif contains smaller fish swimming in circular patterns, while the central medallion serves as a focal point representing cosmic harmony and balance. The deep madder red field symbolizes prosperity and joy, while the navy blue borders represent wisdom and stability, creating a harmonious color story enhanced by touches of camel, dark red, and gold throughout the intricate design work.
This remarkable runner transforms narrow spaces into galleries of Persian artistry, making it perfect for hallways, entryways, or alongside kitchen islands where its length creates visual continuity. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any interior with authentic Persian elegance and timeless sophistication. The semi antique character ensures unique patination and mellowed colors that complement both traditional and contemporary décor schemes, while the manageable width makes it ideal for high-traffic areas that benefit from the warmth and luxury of genuine Persian craftsmanship.
