Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug at 9'10" x 3'10" presents a stunning tableau of traditional Persian artistry, where rich red fields dance harmoniously with navy blue borders and cream accents throughout its intricate Herati and Afshan patterns. The elongated proportions make this piece exceptionally versatile for narrow hallways, galley kitchens, or as an elegant runner alongside dining tables and console areas.
From the ancient weaving city of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug carries forward a legacy that spans over two millennia, where skilled artisans have perfected the symmetrical Ghiordes knot technique passed down through generations of master weavers. The Hamadan region, situated along historic trade routes, became renowned for producing rugs that combined durability with artistic excellence, characteristics clearly evident in this semi antique piece that has gracefully aged 40-60 years while maintaining its structural integrity and vibrant character.
The intricate Herati pattern, known as "Mahi" or fish design, creates a mesmerizing all-over Afshan composition where stylized palmettes and rosettes float within diamond-shaped compartments outlined by delicate vine scrolls. This design symbolizes abundance and eternal life in Persian culture, while the sophisticated color palette of rust red, orange, blue, ivory, burgundy, and beige creates depth and movement that captures light beautifully throughout the day.
The masterful use of natural wool and cotton foundation showcases the weaver's expertise in color gradation, where deep burgundy accents provide dramatic contrast against the cream highlights, while navy blue elements anchor the composition with regal sophistication. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless elegance that speaks to centuries of artistic tradition.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize this Hamadan's exceptional quality in both its semi antique patina and remarkable preservation, making it an ideal choice for discerning collectors who appreciate the perfect balance of traditional craftsmanship and practical beauty that enhances modern living spaces with authentic Persian character.
