Hamadan Persian Rugs
This extraordinary semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 9'6" x 3'11", showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from four to six decades past. The elongated proportions make it an ideal runner for hallways, kitchen spaces, or as an elegant accent piece that draws the eye through transitional areas. Woven with 100% natural wool on a cotton foundation using traditional symmetrical Ghiordes knots, this piece represents authentic Persian craftsmanship at its finest.
Hamadan, located in western Persia near the ancient Silk Road, has been a center of carpet weaving for over a millennium. The city's strategic position made it a melting pot of artistic influences, resulting in rugs that blend traditional Persian motifs with distinctive regional characteristics. Hamadan weavers are renowned for their robust construction and use of excellent quality wool from local sheep, creating carpets that withstand generations of use while maintaining their beauty and structural integrity.
The central medallion (Toranj) dominates the field in rich madder red, surrounded by intricate Herati (Mahi) patterns that flow like gentle waves across the surface. Navy blue borders frame the composition, while cream, burgundy, and ivory accents create depth and luminosity throughout the design. Touches of orange, ochre, and green add warmth and natural harmony, reflecting the Persian weaver's understanding of color psychology and its impact on living spaces.
The madder red speaks to passion and vitality, while the navy blue represents stability and wisdom in Persian color symbolism. Cream and ivory tones bring light and serenity, creating balance within the composition. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless appeal. The runner's narrow width and substantial length make it perfect for galley kitchens, long hallways, or as a striking accent alongside furniture pieces.
Available exclusively through Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this semi antique Hamadan represents exceptional value for collectors and decorators seeking authentic Persian artistry. The natural aging process has mellowed the colors to perfection, while the traditional fringe adds classic finishing touches that speak to centuries of weaving tradition.
