Hamadan Persian Rugs
This extraordinary semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 11'10" x 2'11", showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from four to six decades past, when traditional techniques flourished in the ancient city of Hamadan. The narrow runner proportions make it an ideal choice for hallways, galley kitchens, or as an elegant accent alongside longer furnishings, while its substantial length creates a continuous flow of Persian artistry throughout your space.
Hamadan, known in Persian as åãÏÇä, stands as one of Persia's most celebrated rug-weaving centers, where nomadic and village traditions have converged for over a millennium. Located in the Zagros Mountains, this historic region became renowned for producing rugs with exceptional durability and distinctive geometric precision, characteristics that define this particular semi antique piece. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots employed by Hamadan weavers create the dense, resilient foundation that has allowed this rug to maintain its beauty and structural integrity across decades of use.
The intricate Herati pattern, also called Mahi or fish design, dominates this rug's field with its characteristic diamond medallions surrounded by curved leaves and palmettes, representing the eternal cycle of life in Persian symbolism. Central medallion motifs punctuate the design, creating focal points that draw the eye along the runner's length while maintaining perfect symmetrical balance throughout the composition.
Rich madder red and deep crimson tones form the primary palette, complemented by luxurious cream and ivory accents that highlight the pattern's finest details, while navy blue, black, and gold elements add depth and sophisticated contrast. These natural dye colors have mellowed beautifully over the rug's semi antique lifespan, creating the warm patina that collectors prize in authentic Persian pieces. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior with its timeless Persian heritage and exceptional craftsmanship.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Hamadan runner, perfect for creating elegant pathways in contemporary or traditional interiors, where its narrow format and rich coloration can transform functional spaces into galleries of Persian artistry.
