Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 10'8" x 4'0", exemplifies the extraordinary weaving mastery that has flourished in the ancient city of Hamadan for over two millennia. The commanding madder red field creates a bold foundation, while navy blue and cream accents dance throughout the intricate medallion and Herati patterns, making this piece a stunning focal point for hallways, entryways, or narrow living spaces. The rich burgundy and royal blue elements interweave with ivory highlights, creating depth and movement that captures light beautifully throughout the day.
Hamadan, known as Ecbatana in ancient times, served as the summer capital of the Persian Empire and remains one of Persia's most celebrated rug-weaving centers. The weavers of this mountainous region have perfected their craft across generations, developing distinctive techniques that produce exceptionally durable rugs with remarkable character. This particular piece showcases the classic Afshan all-over pattern combined with the traditional Toranj medallion, while the Herati motifs-featuring fish swimming around a central rosette-symbolize abundance and protection in Persian culture.
The sophisticated color palette tells the story of Persian dyeing traditions, with the deep madder red representing life and vitality, while the navy blue symbolizes wisdom and nobility. Touches of gold and ochre add warmth and richness, complemented by forest green accents that speak to nature's eternal beauty. Wine red elements create additional depth, while the ivory highlights bring balance and serenity to this complex composition, making it a versatile piece that enhances both traditional and contemporary interiors.
At 40-60 years of age, this semi antique treasure has developed the perfect patina that only time can bestow, softening the colors into a harmonious blend that speaks of authentic Persian craftsmanship. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots and natural wool construction ensure this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece will elevate any space with its timeless elegance and cultural significance. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is honored to present this exceptional example of Hamadan artistry, complete with traditional fringes that frame this magnificent work of textile art.
