Mehraban Persian Rugs
This magnificent 11'8" x 9'1" Mehraban exemplifies the refined artistry that emerges from Persia's celebrated Hamadan province, where master weavers have perfected their craft across generations. The semi-antique character of this 40-60 year old treasure reveals itself through the rich patina and sophisticated color evolution that only authentic Persian rugs achieve through decades of gentle aging.
Mehraban rugs originate from the mountainous villages surrounding Hamadan, where skilled artisans employ the symmetrical Ghiordes knot technique to create remarkably durable and beautiful floor coverings. This particular region became renowned during the Safavid era for producing rugs that balanced geometric precision with artistic expression, establishing a weaving tradition that continues to honor ancient Persian design principles while incorporating local artistic interpretations.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian, commands attention with its intricate geometry set against a field of madder red that transitions beautifully through dark red and burgundy tones. The classic Herati pattern, called Mahi or fish design, flows throughout the composition in navy blue and Persian blue accents, while ivory and cream highlights create luminous contrast points that bring the entire design to life. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless aesthetic appeal.
The sophisticated color palette of madder red, navy blue, ivory, dark red, Persian blue, burgundy, cream, brown, and beige reflects the natural dyes traditionally used in Persian rug making, where each hue carries symbolic meaning rooted in Persian culture. The generous 11'8" x 9'1" foot dimensions make this rug ideal for anchoring large living rooms, formal dining spaces, or spacious bedrooms, while its semi-antique status ensures both durability and investment value. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional Mehraban as a testament to Persian weaving mastery and cultural artistry.
