Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 9'10" x 3'9" showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers with its stunning medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by intricate Herati (Mahi) motifs. The rich palette of madder red, navy blue, and crimson creates a dramatic foundation, while delicate touches of cream, ivory, and gold provide luminous contrast throughout the hand-knotted wool composition.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a renowned carpet weaving center for over a millennium. Persian artisans in this region developed their distinctive style during the Safavid period, creating rugs known for their bold geometric patterns and exceptional durability. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this piece reflect centuries-old techniques passed down through generations of master weavers who transformed locally sourced wool into treasured works of art.
The central medallion represents the cosmic order and divine perfection in Persian culture, while the surrounding Herati pattern, also known as the fish design, symbolizes abundance and protection from evil. The interplay of royal blue borders against the madder red field creates visual depth, with beige and dark red accents adding sophisticated warmth to the overall composition.
At 40-60 years of age, this semi antique masterpiece has developed the perfect patina that only time can bestow, making each thread tell a story of Persian heritage. As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure, this rug elevates any hallway, kitchen, or narrow living space with its authentic character and timeless elegance. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece that bridges traditional Persian craftsmanship with contemporary interior design needs.
