Hamadan Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 11'7" x 5'3" showcases the masterful weaving traditions of western Persia's ancient city of Hamadan, where artisans have been creating exceptional rugs for over two millennia. The sophisticated medallion design floats gracefully against a rich madder red field, while intricate Herati motifs dance throughout the composition, creating a mesmerizing interplay of geometric and floral elements that speaks to four decades of careful aging and patina development.
The historic city of Hamadan, known in antiquity as Ecbatana, has been a crossroads of Persian civilization where nomadic and settled weaving traditions merged to create distinctive carpet styles characterized by their robust construction and bold color palettes. This particular rug reflects the region's mastery of natural dyeing techniques, evident in the gorgeous spectrum of brick red, cream, navy blue, dark red, ivory, burgundy, and blue that creates remarkable depth and visual richness throughout the piece.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian, represents the cosmic dome of heaven, while the surrounding Herati pattern-featuring fish motifs swimming around diamond-shaped rosettes-symbolizes abundance and protection. These ancient design elements have been woven into Persian rugs for centuries, and their presence in this semi-antique piece connects your home to millennia of artistic tradition and cultural heritage.
The warm madder red foundation paired with cooler navy and cream accents creates a perfectly balanced color story that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the generous 11'7" x 5'3" foot size makes it ideal for dining rooms, large hallways, or as an elegant runner in spacious living areas. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its sophisticated presence and authentic Persian character.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional semi-antique Hamadan, where symmetrical Ghiordes knots and premium wool construction ensure both lasting beauty and remarkable durability. The natural aging process has softened the colors to perfection, creating an heirloom-quality piece that will continue to develop character and charm for generations to come.
