Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 9'11" x 3'3" showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers through its intricate Herati and Afshan patterns rendered in a stunning palette of dark red, navy blue, rust red, burgundy, cream, black, and ochre. The elongated proportions make this piece exceptionally versatile for hallways, galley kitchens, or as a striking runner alongside furniture arrangements.
The ancient city of Hamadan, historically known as Ecbatana, has been a center of Persian rug weaving for over two millennia, with its artisans developing distinctive techniques that blend Kurdish tribal traditions with classical Persian motifs. This particular weaving demonstrates the region's mastery of the symmetrical Ghiordes knot, creating a dense foundation that has preserved the rug's beauty through four to six decades of existence. The semi antique status reflects not just age but the patina and character that only time can bestow upon authentic Persian craftsmanship.
The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi or fish design, represents one of Persia's most beloved motifs, with its diamond medallions surrounded by curved leaves symbolizing abundance and protection. The Afshan all-over design creates a harmonious repetition across the field, while the rich burgundy and dark red tones speak to traditional Persian color mastery using natural dyes derived from madder root and other botanical sources. The interplay of navy blue and cream creates striking contrast, while touches of ochre and black add depth and sophistication.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional runner as a testament to Persian weaving excellence, where each knot was tied by hand using traditional techniques passed down through generations. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic heritage and timeless beauty, transforming ordinary walkways into galleries of artistic expression. The natural wool construction ensures durability while maintaining the soft luxurious feel characteristic of genuine Persian rugs, making this piece both a functional floor covering and an investment in cultural artistry.
