Hosseinabad Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hosseinabad Persian rug, measuring 9'12" x 3'6", presents a magnificent display of traditional Herati (Mahi) and central medallion (Toranj) motifs rendered in a rich palette of crimson, burgundy, ivory, navy blue, black, gold, and dark red. Woven between 40-60 years ago in the renowned carpet-making region of Hamadan, this runner-style masterpiece exemplifies the sophisticated artistry of Persian village weavers who have preserved ancient design traditions for countless generations.
The village of Hosseinabad in the Hamadan province has been a center of Persian carpet production since the Safavid era, where master weavers have passed down their intricate knotting techniques through family lineages spanning centuries. The Herati pattern, also known as Mahi (fish) design, features diamond-shaped medallions surrounded by stylized fish motifs that symbolize abundance and prosperity in Persian culture. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this rug's construction create the dense, durable foundation that allows these intricate patterns to emerge with remarkable clarity and definition.
The commanding crimson and burgundy tones that dominate this semi antique piece represent passion, strength, and royal heritage in Persian symbolism, while the ivory accents provide elegant contrast that allows the navy blue and gold details to shine with luminous beauty. The central medallion design speaks to the cosmic order and divine harmony that Persian artisans have celebrated in their work for millennia, with each geometric element carefully balanced to create visual rhythm and spiritual meaning.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize this Hosseinabad runner as an extraordinary example of Persian weaving mastery, perfect for hallways, entryways, or galley kitchens where its elongated proportions create dramatic visual impact. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure transforms any corridor into a gallery of Persian artistry, its semi antique patina adding depth and character that only decades of careful aging can provide. The natural wool construction ensures lasting beauty and durability, while the traditional cotton foundation provides stability and structure that will preserve these magnificent patterns for future generations to admire.
