Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring an impressive 13'5" x 10'0", showcases the timeless artistry of Persian carpet weaving through its masterful Shah Abbasi medallion design. The rich navy blue field creates a sophisticated foundation for the intricate toranj (central medallion) pattern, while vibrant accents of madder red, cream, burgundy, gold, ivory, dark red, and royal blue dance throughout the composition in perfect harmony. At 40-60 years old, this semi antique treasure has developed the coveted patina and character that only time can bestow upon authentic Persian carpets.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a renowned center of carpet weaving for over a millennium. Persian artisans from this historic region have passed down their weaving traditions through countless generations, creating rugs distinguished by their exceptional durability and bold geometric patterns. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this carpet reflect the technical mastery of Hamadan weavers, who combine 100% natural wool pile with a sturdy cotton foundation to create carpets that withstand the test of time while maintaining their vibrant beauty.
The Shah Abbasi pattern, named after the great Safavid ruler Shah Abbas I, represents one of the most prestigious motifs in Persian rug design. The central toranj medallion symbolizes the cosmic order and divine perfection, while the surrounding palmettes and floral scrollwork create an enchanting garden paradise. Each element of this design carries deep cultural significance, transforming this rug into a masterpiece of Persian artistic expression that tells the story of ancient Persia's golden age.
The sophisticated color palette of this Hamadan carpet speaks to centuries of Persian dyeing expertise, with natural madder root producing the luminous reds, indigo creating the deep navy blues, and various botanical sources yielding the warm cream, burgundy, and gold tones. These time-honored colors work together to create a harmonious composition that complements both traditional and contemporary interior designs. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its commanding presence and authentic Persian heritage.
Perfect for grand living rooms, formal dining areas, or spacious family rooms, this substantial 13'5" x 10'0" foot Hamadan rug creates an anchor of warmth and sophistication in larger spaces. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional semi antique Persian carpet, complete with traditional fringed edges that frame the intricate design. Whether placed beneath a dining table, in front of a sectional sofa, or as a stunning centerpiece in an open floor plan, this remarkable Hamadan rug transforms any room into an elegant sanctuary of Persian artistry and cultural heritage.
