Hamadan Persian Rugs
This distinguished semi antique Hamadan runner at 8'11" x 2'7" showcases the masterful artistry of Persian rug making with its rich madder red field adorned with the timeless Herati motif, also known as the Mahi or fish pattern, creating an elegant pathway of traditional beauty. The sophisticated interplay of navy blue, ivory, brick red, and indigo creates a harmonious color palette that speaks to generations of weaving expertise from the Hamadan region in western Persia.
The ancient city of Hamadan, historically known as Ecbatana and once the capital of the Median Empire, has been a center of rug production for over a millennium, where skilled artisans have passed down their techniques through countless generations. This particular runner represents the golden era of Hamadan weaving from 40-60 years ago, when traditional methods and natural materials were still the cornerstone of every piece created in this storied region.
The Afshan all-over pattern combined with the intricate Herati motifs creates a mesmerizing visual rhythm across the rug's surface, where each diamond-shaped medallion contains delicate fish swimming around a central rosette, symbolizing abundance and protection in Persian culture. The cream and rust red accents dance throughout the composition, while the dark red borders frame the design with classical Persian proportions that have remained unchanged for centuries.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece using symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this runner elevates any hallway, kitchen, or entrance with its authentic Persian character and enduring craftsmanship. The natural wool pile and cotton foundation ensure longevity, while the narrow proportions make it perfect for galley kitchens, long corridors, or as an elegant accent piece in dining rooms and bedrooms. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional example of Persian textile art that transforms ordinary spaces into sophisticated environments with its warm, inviting presence and timeless appeal.
