Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 15'12" x 2'4", represents the enduring artistry of Persian weavers from the historic city of åãÏÇä (Hamadan). Dating between 40-60 years, this narrow runner showcases the sophisticated medallion (Toranj) design complemented by the traditional Herati (Mahi) pattern, creating a visual narrative that has captivated collectors for generations. The elongated proportions make it an ideal choice for hallways, galley kitchens, or alongside bed frames where its distinctive presence can be fully appreciated.
The ancient weaving traditions of Hamadan province in western Persia have flourished for over a millennium, with local artisans developing techniques passed down through countless generations. This region, situated along the historic Silk Road, became renowned for producing rugs that combined durability with artistic excellence, using locally sourced wool from mountain sheep and natural dyes extracted from regional plants and minerals. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots employed in this piece reflect the meticulous craftsmanship that has made Hamadan rugs treasured worldwide.
The central medallion design, known as Toranj in Persian, symbolizes the cosmic center and represents harmony between earth and sky, while the surrounding Herati pattern, called Mahi (fish), traditionally signifies abundance and prosperity. The rich madder red field provides a warm foundation, beautifully contrasted by cream and ivory accents that highlight the intricate geometric motifs, while navy blue and dark red details add depth and sophistication to the overall composition.
This remarkable color palette of madder red, cream, navy blue, ivory, dark red, and beige creates a versatile foundation that complements both traditional and contemporary interior designs. The natural wool pile, woven with cotton warps, offers exceptional durability while maintaining the soft texture that makes Persian rugs so desirable. As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece, this runner elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless aesthetic appeal.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs takes pride in offering this authentic semi-antique treasure, complete with its original fringed edges that frame the intricate design. The narrow format and substantial length make it perfect for creating visual continuity in long spaces, while its semi-antique patina adds character and warmth that only comes with decades of gentle aging.
