Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 10'7" x 3'10" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weavers from the ancient city of åãÏÇä, where master craftsmen have perfected their skills for over eight centuries. The elongated runner format makes this piece exceptionally versatile for hallways, galley kitchens, or alongside beds, while its rich palette of madder red, navy blue, and burnt orange creates a warm, inviting pathway through any space.
Hamadan, strategically positioned along the historic Silk Road in western Persia, has been renowned for producing sturdy, densely woven rugs that combine nomadic traditions with village sophistication. This region's weavers are celebrated for their mastery of natural dyes, particularly the deep madder red that dominates this piece, extracted from the roots of the rubia plant that thrives in Hamadan's mountainous terrain. The city's rug-making tradition dates back to the Safavid dynasty, when royal patronage elevated local weaving techniques to extraordinary levels of refinement.
The intricate Herati pattern, known locally as "Mahi" or fish design, flows gracefully across this runner in an all-over Afshan arrangement, creating a mesmerizing dance of curvilinear motifs that represent the eternal flow of life in Persian culture. The navy blue diamonds contain delicate palmettes and rosettes, while the burnt orange accents and indigo details add depth and complexity to the composition. Gold highlights illuminate the design like sunlight filtering through an ancient Persian garden, while cream-colored elements provide breathing space within the rich tapestry.
At 40 to 60 years old, this semi antique treasure exhibits the perfect balance of character and durability, its hand-knotted wool pile softened by decades of gentle use while retaining the vibrant colors that make Hamadan rugs so coveted. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece transforms any corridor or narrow space into an elegant Persian gallery, elevating the entire room with its sophisticated presence. The natural wool construction ensures longevity, while the traditional symmetrical knots create a texture that feels luxurious underfoot.
Whether adorning a contemporary loft or a traditional home, this exceptional runner from Los Angeles Home of Rugs brings centuries of Persian artistry into modern living spaces, its narrow profile perfect for creating dramatic visual impact without overwhelming smaller areas.
