Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 11'3" x 3'5" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weaving through its stunning medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by the intricate Herati (Mahi) fish pattern. The rich madder red field serves as a vibrant canvas for the cream and navy blue motifs, while burgundy, ivory, and gold accents dance throughout the Afshan all-over design, creating a tapestry of unparalleled beauty that speaks to four decades of Persian craftsmanship.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a center of rug weaving since the time of the Median Empire. Known locally as åãÏÇä, this historic region produces rugs renowned for their durability and distinctive character, with weavers passing down techniques through generations that date back over 2,500 years. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots employed in this masterpiece reflect the meticulous attention to detail that Hamadan artisans have perfected over millennia.
The medallion design represents the Persian concept of paradise, with the central Toranj symbolizing the dome of heaven surrounded by the eternal garden. The Herati pattern, featuring stylized fish swimming around rosettes, speaks to abundance and prosperity in Persian culture. The warm madder red ground, derived from the roots of the madder plant, symbolizes joy and celebration, while the navy blue borders represent wisdom and nobility, creating a harmonious balance of spiritual and earthly elements.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its sophisticated color palette that seamlessly blends burgundy depth with ivory lightness, enhanced by touches of beige, black, brown, and gold that add richness and complexity. The runner format makes it perfect for hallways, kitchen spaces, or as an elegant accent beneath console tables, while its semi-antique patina brings warmth and character that only decades of gentle aging can provide. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic piece that transforms ordinary spaces into extraordinary environments.
Crafted from 100% natural wool and cotton with traditional fringe details, this Hamadan treasure represents not just a floor covering but a piece of living history that connects modern homes to the ancient traditions of Persian artisanship, offering both beauty and durability that will be cherished for generations to come.
