Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug at 11'6" x 8'5" presents a breathtaking medallion composition that embodies four decades of graceful aging. The rich madder red field creates a warm foundation, while the intricate Toranj medallion in cream and navy blue commands attention at the center, surrounded by delicate Herati motifs that dance across the wool surface like ancient Persian poetry written in thread.
The storied region of Hamadan in western Persia has been a crossroads of culture and commerce for millennia, where nomadic tribes and settled weavers have perfected their craft through generations of artistic evolution. This particular rug showcases the region's mastery of symmetrical Ghiordes knots, creating a dense and durable foundation that has preserved its beauty for 40-60 years while developing the coveted patina that only authentic Persian rugs can achieve.
The Toranj medallion represents the cosmic order in Persian philosophy, while the surrounding Herati pattern, known as the "fish design," symbolizes abundance and protection. These motifs work in harmony with smaller guard borders that frame the composition, creating visual depth through layers of brown, ivory, and indigo accents that complement the dominant madder red and cream palette with sophisticated restraint.
The sophisticated color story unfolds through natural dyes that have mellowed beautifully over decades, with the madder red providing warmth, cream offering brightness, and navy blue adding depth alongside subtle notes of camel and dark red. This semi-antique treasure represents a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any living space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless artistic expression.
At 11'6" x 8'5" feet, this rug perfectly anchors a formal living room or dining space, providing ample coverage for seating arrangements while leaving elegant borders that showcase hardwood floors. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional piece that brings the artistic legacy of Persian weavers directly into contemporary homes, where its natural wool construction and cotton foundation ensure lasting beauty for generations to come.
