Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exquisite 4'7" x 3'9" semi antique Hamadan Persian rug embodies the timeless elegance of Shah Abbasi medallion artistry, displaying a magnificent central toranj surrounded by intricate botanical motifs in rich madder red, deep navy blue, and soft cream tones. The semi antique status of this 40-60 year old masterpiece reveals the beautiful patina and character that only authentic Persian rugs can develop over decades of careful preservation.
From the ancient weaving city of Hamadan in northwestern Persia, this rug represents centuries of nomadic and village traditions where master artisans perfected the symmetrical Ghiordes knotting technique. The Hamadan region has been renowned since the medieval period for producing sturdy, densely woven rugs that showcase bold geometric patterns and exceptional durability, making them treasured heirlooms passed down through generations of Persian families.
The Shah Abbasi design celebrates the golden age of Persian art under Shah Abbas I, featuring stylized palmettes, rosettes, and flowing vine scrolls that create an enchanting garden paradise. The central medallion commands attention with its intricate detailing, while corner spandrels mirror the design in perfect symmetry, representing the Persian concept of cosmic harmony and balance.
The sophisticated color palette combines warm madder red as the dominant field color with accents of navy blue, ivory, antique gold, rust red, indigo, and ochre that create remarkable depth and visual richness. These natural dyes have aged gracefully, developing the subtle color variations and lustrous sheen that collectors prize in authentic semi antique Persian textiles.
Perfect for intimate spaces like studies, bedrooms, or cozy seating areas, this 4'7" x 3'9" foot rug provides an ideal foundation for traditional or eclectic décor schemes while maintaining comfortable walking space. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece from Los Angeles Home of Rugs transforms any room into a sophisticated sanctuary with its timeless Persian artistry and enduring beauty.
