Nahavand Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi-antique Nahavand runner, measuring 11'1" x 4'4", presents the timeless Herati (Mahi) pattern in a stunning palette of madder red, dark red, and navy blue accented with crimson, burgundy, ivory, and beige highlights. Woven between 40-60 years ago in the weaving centers of the Hamadan region, this Persian masterpiece showcases the sophisticated geometric sensibilities that have made Nahavand rugs treasured by collectors worldwide.
The historic Nahavand weaving tradition originated in the mountainous regions of western Persia, where skilled artisans developed their distinctive interpretation of classical Persian motifs. These weavers became renowned for their ability to create intricate all-over patterns that maintain perfect balance and rhythm across the entire field. The Hamadan province, with its rich weaving heritage spanning centuries, provided the cultural foundation for the refined aesthetic we see in this remarkable runner.
The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi or fish design, represents one of Persia's most beloved and enduring motifs, symbolizing abundance and protection. In this Nahavand interpretation, the geometric framework creates a mesmerizing all-over composition where diamond-shaped rosettes and curvilinear elements dance across the field in perfect harmony. The deep madder red ground provides a rich canvas for the intricate navy blue and ivory details, while subtle burgundy and rust red accents add depth and warmth to the overall design.
The sophisticated color palette speaks to the natural dye traditions of Persian rug making, where madder root creates those distinctive red tones that deepen and become more lustrous with age. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any hallway or narrow space with its timeless elegance and masterful craftsmanship. The navy blue elements provide striking contrast while the ivory highlights illuminate the intricate geometric details, creating a visual symphony that draws the eye through the entire composition.
Perfect for long corridors, galley kitchens, or as a stunning accent piece in living spaces, this Nahavand runner brings authentic Persian artistry to contemporary homes. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this semi-antique treasure, where decades of natural aging have enhanced both the wool's lustrous quality and the dyes' rich patina, creating a piece that will continue to appreciate in beauty and value for generations to come.
