Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hamadan runner, measuring 13'3" x 2'4", exemplifies the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from the Hamadan province. With 40-60 years of graceful aging, this hand-knotted masterpiece displays the sophisticated interplay of Herati (Mahi) and Afshan motifs, creating an all-over pattern that flows seamlessly across its elongated form. The rich madder red field provides a warm foundation for the intricate navy blue and cream accents, while touches of dark red, indigo, ivory, burgundy, and gold add depth and luminosity to every motif.
The historic city of Hamadan, known in ancient times as Ecbatana, has been a center of Persian rug weaving for over a millennium. Situated at the crossroads of major trade routes, Hamadan weavers developed their distinctive style by incorporating influences from various Persian regions while maintaining their own unique aesthetic. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this runner reflect the traditional techniques passed down through generations of master craftsmen, ensuring both durability and artistic integrity in every hand-tied knot.
The Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or fish design, represents one of Persia's most beloved motifs, symbolizing abundance and protection. Combined with the Afshan all-over design, this runner creates a harmonious visual rhythm that guides the eye along its impressive length. The interweaving of these classic patterns speaks to the weaver's deep understanding of Persian design philosophy, where each element serves both decorative and symbolic purposes. The natural wool and cotton construction ensures this piece will continue to develop character and patina for generations to come.
The sophisticated color palette of this semi antique runner tells the story of Persian dyeing mastery, where madder root creates the deep reds, indigo produces the rich blues, and traditional mordants achieve the subtle variations in cream and ivory tones. These natural dyes have mellowed beautifully over the decades, creating the warm, lived-in patina that makes antique and semi antique Persian rugs so highly prized. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic piece, recognizing its exceptional quality and historical significance.
Perfect for long hallways, gallery spaces, or as a dramatic accent in contemporary interiors, this 13'3" x 2'4" runner brings instant sophistication to any setting. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug elevates your space with centuries of Persian weaving tradition, transforming ordinary passages into extraordinary experiences. The narrow width makes it ideal for tight spaces while the generous length provides ample coverage for extended areas, making it both practical and profoundly beautiful.
