Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 10'7" x 3'9", showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weaving through its intricate Herati (Mahi) and Afshan all-over patterns woven in lustrous natural wool. The masterful combination of madder red, navy blue, cream, burgundy, royal blue, ivory, dark red, ochre, and black creates a rich tapestry that speaks to decades of careful craftsmanship, with each hand-tied symmetrical knot contributing to its remarkable durability and visual depth.
From the ancient city of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug represents a weaving tradition that has flourished for over two millennia along the historic Silk Road. Persian artisans from the Hamadan region have long been celebrated for their ability to create rugs that balance geometric precision with organic flowing motifs, drawing inspiration from the mountainous landscapes and fertile valleys that surround their workshops. The semi antique status of this piece, aged 40-60 years, adds character and authenticity that cannot be replicated in newer productions.
The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi (fish), features diamond-shaped medallions surrounded by small curved leaves that create an endless flowing movement across the field, while the Afshan design adds layers of palmettes and botanical motifs that seem to dance within the rich madder red ground. The navy blue borders provide elegant contrast, framed by cream and ivory accents that illuminate the intricate details, while touches of burgundy, royal blue, dark red, and ochre add depth and complexity to the overall composition.
This exceptional runner format makes it ideal for hallways, galley kitchens, or alongside beds and furniture pieces where its narrow width of 3'9" provides perfect proportions without overwhelming the space. The natural wool construction ensures longevity while the cotton foundation provides stability, making this a practical choice for daily use. Los Angeles Home of Rugs takes pride in offering such authentic pieces that bring Persian heritage into modern homes.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece, this Hamadan rug elevates any interior space with its sophisticated color palette and time-honored patterns that have captivated collectors and decorators for generations, promising to become a cherished focal point that grows more beautiful with age.
