Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hamadan Persian rug, measuring 9'8" x 3'3", showcases the masterful Afshan all-over pattern interwoven with traditional Herati motifs, creating a captivating tapestry that has graced Persian homes for four to six decades. The elongated runner proportions make this piece perfect for hallways, kitchen spaces, or as a dramatic accent along staircases, where its rich palette of madder red, dark red, and navy blue can create stunning visual impact.
Originating from the ancient city of Hamadan in western Persia, this rug represents centuries of weaving excellence that began when the region served as a crucial stop along the Silk Road. Hamadan weavers have perfected their craft through generations, developing distinctive techniques that blend nomadic tribal traditions with sophisticated urban designs. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots used in this piece reflect the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of this renowned weaving center, where artisans continue to honor age-old methods passed down through family lines.
The Afshan design, meaning "scattered" in Persian, creates an enchanting all-over pattern that flows seamlessly across the rug's surface, while the interspersed Herati fish motifs add layers of symbolic meaning representing abundance and protection. The sophisticated color palette begins with rich madder red as the dominant tone, beautifully complemented by deep navy blue borders and accented with touches of indigo, cream, black, brown, and burgundy that create remarkable depth and visual interest.
Natural wool construction ensures this semi antique treasure will continue to develop character and patina over time, while the cream-colored cotton foundation provides structural integrity that has already proven its durability over decades of use. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless elegance. The runner's narrow profile makes it ideal for creating sophisticated pathways through your home, while its mature colorations blend effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary furnishings, bringing warmth and cultural richness to modern living spaces.
