Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hamadan runner at 11'4" x 3'1" showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from the historic city of åãÏÇä, where traditional rug making has flourished for over a millennium. The stunning madder red field creates a dramatic foundation for the intricate Herati (Mahi) fish motifs swimming through an enchanting Afshan all-over pattern, while navy blue and cream accents dance harmoniously across the surface alongside rich burgundy, turquoise, and ivory details that speak to decades of gentle aging.
The ancient city of Hamadan, known as Ecbatana in classical times, served as the summer capital of the Achaemenid Empire and has maintained its reputation as a center of exceptional Persian weaving traditions. Local artisans have passed down the secrets of creating these symmetrical Ghiordes knots through generations, using natural wool and cotton to craft rugs that embody the cultural heritage of western Persia, where the convergence of trade routes brought diverse artistic influences together.
The Herati pattern, also called Mahi or fish design, represents the eternal cycle of life in Persian symbolism, while the Afshan all-over composition creates a mesmerizing visual rhythm that draws the eye across the entire surface. The deep madder red speaks of passion and prosperity, while navy blue represents wisdom and tranquility, creating a perfect balance enhanced by the warm cream and sophisticated burgundy that have developed their distinctive patina over 40-60 years of careful preservation.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece transforms any hallway, kitchen, or entryway into a gallery space, its generous length perfect for defining pathways while adding authentic Persian character to contemporary or traditional interiors. Los Angeles Home of Rugs takes pride in offering this remarkable example of Hamadan craftsmanship, where each knot tells a story of artistic dedication and cultural continuity that spans generations of master weavers.
