Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 7'3" x 1'12", showcases the timeless artistry of Persian weavers through its intricate Herati (Mahi) and Afshan all-over patterns rendered in a stunning palette of madder red, navy blue, cream, and antique gold. The elongated proportions of this hand-knotted masterpiece make it an ideal runner for hallways, galley kitchens, or as an elegant accent piece alongside furniture, where its rich heritage can be fully appreciated.
The ancient city of Hamadan, known in Persian as åãÏÇä, has been a cornerstone of Persian rug weaving for over a millennium, with archaeological evidence suggesting carpet production in this region dates back to the Sassanid period. Located at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, Hamadan weavers developed their distinctive style by incorporating influences from traveling merchants while maintaining their own cultural identity, resulting in rugs that perfectly balance geometric precision with organic flowing motifs.
The Herati (Mahi) pattern adorning this semi antique treasure tells the story of the fish swimming around the diamond, a motif that symbolizes abundance and protection in Persian culture, while the Afshan all-over design creates a mesmerizing field that draws the eye across the entire surface. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in its construction ensure exceptional durability, with each knot carefully tied by skilled artisans who learned their craft through generations of family tradition, making this a true one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug that elevates any space with its authentic character.
The sophisticated color harmony of rust red, ivory, ochre, and blue creates a warm yet refined atmosphere that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the 40-60 year aging process has mellowed the natural wool to achieve the perfect patina that speaks of genuine antiquity. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional piece that represents not just a floor covering, but a tangible connection to the rich cultural heritage of Persian craftsmanship, complete with its original fringed edges that frame this artistic masterpiece with authentic detail.
