Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian runner, measuring 16'11" x 3'9", showcases the timeless elegance of traditional Persian craftsmanship through its intricate Herati and Afshan motifs. The rich madder red foundation creates a warm, inviting backdrop for the sophisticated navy blue and ivory accents, while dark red and indigo elements add depth and complexity to this exceptional piece. Woven with the finest natural wool and cotton using symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any hallway or corridor with its authentic Persian character and enduring beauty.
The historic city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been renowned for its exceptional rug weaving tradition for over a millennium. This semi antique treasure, aged between 40 to 60 years, represents the golden era of Persian weaving when master craftsmen combined time-honored techniques with artistic innovation. The symmetrical knotting technique employed in this runner ensures remarkable durability and creates the distinctive texture that Hamadan rugs are celebrated for worldwide.
The intricate Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or fish design, features delicate rosettes surrounded by curved leaves that create an endless flowing movement across the rug's surface. This classic motif symbolizes abundance and protection in Persian culture, while the complementary Afshan all-over design adds layers of geometric sophistication. The interplay between these traditional patterns creates a visual feast that captures the eye and tells the story of Persian artistic heritage through every carefully placed knot.
The carefully curated color palette of madder red, navy blue, ivory, dark red, indigo, cream, and black represents the pinnacle of natural dye mastery. These colors have been extracted from precious sources like madder root, indigo plants, and pomegranate rinds, creating hues that will deepen and mature beautifully over time. The harmonious blend of warm and cool tones allows this runner to complement both traditional and contemporary interior designs with remarkable versatility.
This exceptional runner length makes it perfect for grand hallways, long corridors, or as a striking accent in spacious living areas where its 16-foot length can be fully appreciated. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Persian treasure, complete with traditional fringes that frame the intricate design and add to its authentic character. Whether placed in an elegant foyer or used to define pathways in open floor plans, this Hamadan runner brings centuries of Persian weaving tradition into modern living spaces with unmatched sophistication.
