Hamadan Persian Rugs
This remarkable semi antique Hamadan Persian rug measuring 9'8" x 3'7" presents a masterful display of the beloved Herati pattern, also known as Mahi (fish) design, woven across an all-over Afshan field in rich madder red. The intricate geometric florals dance throughout the composition, accented by navy blue, ivory, rust red, ochre, cream, dark red, and black, creating a harmonious tapestry that speaks to four decades of Persian weaving excellence.
The ancient city of Hamadan, nestled in the Zagros Mountains of western Persia, has been a center of rug production for over a millennium. Persian weavers in this historic region developed their distinctive style during the Safavid dynasty, passing down techniques through generations of master craftsmen. The semi antique age of this particular piece, spanning 40-60 years, allows its natural wool to display the characteristic patina that collectors prize, while the symmetrical Ghiordes knots ensure exceptional durability.
The Herati motif system featured throughout this runner carries profound symbolic meaning in Persian culture, with the diamond-shaped palmettes representing protection and the surrounding curved leaves symbolizing abundance. The Afshan pattern creates an endless garden effect, where each motif flows seamlessly into the next, embodying the Persian concept of paradise on earth. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any hallway, kitchen, or narrow space with its timeless elegance and cultural significance.
The sophisticated color palette anchored by deep madder red creates warmth while the navy blue borders provide grounding contrast, making this runner exceptionally versatile for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Los Angeles Home of Rugs carefully selects each Hamadan piece for its authentic character and superior craftsmanship. The natural wool and cotton foundation, combined with traditional vegetable dyes, ensures this runner will continue to develop character while maintaining its structural integrity for generations to come.
