Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi-antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 9'8" x 3'10" presents a masterful composition of traditional medallion and Herati motifs that have adorned Persian homes for centuries. The striking madder red field creates a warm foundation, beautifully contrasted by cream, rust red, and navy blue accents that dance throughout the intricate geometric patterns, while touches of ochre, brown, ivory, and black add remarkable depth and sophistication to this hand-knotted masterpiece.
From the ancient city of Hamadan in northwestern Persia, this rug carries the weaving legacy of one of the region's most celebrated carpet-producing centers, where skilled artisans have perfected their craft for over a millennium. The historic trade routes that once passed through Hamadan brought diverse cultural influences that are beautifully reflected in the rug's complex design vocabulary, combining the central medallion known as Toranj with the beloved Herati or Mahi pattern that symbolizes abundance and protection.
The medallion centerpiece, rendered in deep navy blue with intricate geometric borders, represents the garden of paradise in Persian culture, while the surrounding field displays the classic fish motif of the Herati pattern, believed to bring good fortune and ward off evil. Each knot in this 40-60 year old treasure was tied using the symmetrical Ghiordes technique, creating a dense and durable weave that has allowed the natural wool fibers to develop their characteristic patina and lustrous sheen over the decades.
The elongated runner format makes this piece particularly versatile for modern interiors, perfect for defining hallways, enhancing entryways, or creating dramatic visual interest alongside kitchen islands or in narrow dining spaces. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Persian runner that serves as both functional floor covering and artistic statement, while its semi-antique status ensures each viewing reveals new details within the time-honored patterns.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted creation that has gracefully aged for decades, this Hamadan runner elevates any space with its rich cultural heritage and masterful craftsmanship, transforming ordinary rooms into sophisticated environments that honor the timeless tradition of Persian carpet weaving.
