Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian runner, measuring 17'5" x 3'7", showcases the legendary craftsmanship of Persia's most prolific weaving region with its stunning Herati and medallion motifs rendered in a rich palette of red, dark red, navy blue, and cream accents. The elongated proportions make this piece perfect for grand hallways, long dining rooms, or as a striking gallery runner that creates visual flow between spaces while displaying the intricate geometric patterns that have made Hamadan weavings celebrated worldwide.
The ancient city of Hamadan, known as Ecbatana in classical antiquity, stands as one of Persia's oldest weaving centers where nomadic and village traditions have flourished for over two millennia. Located in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, this region became renowned for producing sturdy, geometric rugs that served both nomadic tribes and settled communities, with each village developing its own distinctive interpretation of traditional patterns while maintaining the robust construction techniques passed down through countless generations.
The Herati pattern, also called Mahi or fish design, creates a mesmerizing repeat across the field with its characteristic diamond medallions surrounded by curved leaves and delicate rosettes, while the central medallion design adds formal structure to this 40-60 year old masterpiece. The deep red ground provides a warm foundation for the navy blue geometric elements and cream highlights, with touches of black, white, and brown adding depth and complexity to the overall composition that speaks to generations of Persian artistic heritage.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted wool runner elevates any space with its authentic character and time-worn patina that can only be achieved through decades of gentle use and natural aging. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece that combines the durability of Hamadan construction with the sophisticated color harmony that makes Persian rugs the most treasured floor coverings in the world, perfect for creating an elegant pathway that connects rooms while showcasing centuries of weaving mastery.
