Hamadan Persian Rugs
This extraordinary semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 9'6" x 5'2", presents a masterful display of traditional Persian artistry through its rich madder red field adorned with intricate medallion and Herati motifs. The sophisticated color palette of madder red, cream, navy blue, dark red, ivory, gold, brown, and black creates a harmonious composition that speaks to the refined tastes of discerning collectors and interior design enthusiasts.
The historic weaving traditions of Hamadan, located in western Persia along ancient trade routes, have produced some of the most sought-after Persian rugs for over four centuries. This particular piece, aged between 40 to 60 years, showcases the region's distinctive symmetrical Ghiordes knotting technique and the masterful use of natural wool and cotton foundation. The weavers of Hamadan have long been celebrated for their ability to create durable rugs with exceptional artistic merit, making each piece a testament to generations of inherited craftsmanship.
The central medallion, known as Toranj in Persian tradition, symbolizes the cosmic order and celestial harmony, while the surrounding Herati or Mahi (fish) pattern represents abundance and prosperity in Persian culture. These time-honored motifs have been passed down through generations of master weavers, each adding their own subtle interpretation while maintaining the essential character of the design. The interplay between the dominant madder red and the supporting colors creates a visual depth that draws the eye inward, making this piece a natural focal point for any interior space.
At 9'6" x 5'2", this semi antique treasure offers exceptional versatility for modern living spaces, perfectly sized for dining rooms, home offices, or as an elegant accent beneath a coffee table in a spacious living area. The warm madder red base provides an inviting foundation, while the cream and ivory accents brighten the overall composition, and the navy blue and gold details add sophisticated contrast. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any room with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless artistic appeal.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional Hamadan piece as part of our carefully curated collection of authentic Persian rugs, each selected for its superior quality and artistic significance. The natural aging process has enhanced the rug's character, softening the colors to create the perfect patina that only time can achieve, while the traditional fringed edges complete this remarkable example of Persian weaving excellence.
