Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian runner, measuring 10'7" x 3'3", presents an extraordinary display of traditional Persian craftsmanship through its intricate Herati and Afshan patterns. The elongated proportions make this piece particularly valuable for hallways, kitchen spaces, or as an elegant pathway between rooms, while the rich palette of dark red, navy blue, and burgundy creates a sophisticated foundation enhanced by touches of crimson, ivory, black, gold, and blue accents.
From the ancient city of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug carries forward centuries of weaving excellence that dates back to the Median Empire. Persian weavers in this region have perfected their craft through generations, developing distinctive techniques that produce rugs of exceptional durability and artistic merit. The semi antique status of this 40-60 year old piece allows the natural wool fibers to display their full character while maintaining structural integrity that will endure for generations to come.
The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi or fish design, fills the field with diamond-shaped motifs surrounded by curved leaves and small fish, creating an all-over design that flows seamlessly across the rug's surface. This traditional Persian motif symbolizes abundance and prosperity, while the Afshan style ensures every inch of the rug displays intricate detail without overwhelming the eye. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in construction provide the foundation for these precise patterns to emerge with remarkable clarity.
The color story begins with a commanding dark red field that serves as the perfect canvas for navy blue and burgundy design elements to create depth and visual interest. Ivory highlights provide contrast and brightness, while black outlines define each motif with precision. Gold and blue accents add layers of sophistication that catch and reflect light throughout the day, creating a dynamic visual experience that changes with lighting conditions.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its authentic Persian heritage and artistic excellence. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional runner as an investment in both beauty and cultural history, perfect for discerning collectors who appreciate the unmatched quality of traditional Persian weaving. The natural cotton foundation and pure wool pile ensure longevity while the traditional fringe adds an authentic finishing touch that speaks to generations of Persian weaving tradition.
