Hamadan Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Hamadan Persian rug at 9'8" x 5'2" showcases the timeless artistry of Persian carpet weaving through its intricate Herati (Mahi) and Afshan all-over patterns rendered in a sophisticated palette of madder red, burgundy, navy blue, cream, beige, and white. Dating between 40-60 years old, this masterpiece represents the golden era of mid-20th century Persian rug production when traditional techniques were at their pinnacle, creating carpets that have gracefully aged into coveted antiques.
The historic city of Hamadan, nestled in western Persia's mountainous terrain, has been a cornerstone of Persian rug weaving for over a millennium, with artisans passing down their craft through generations of master weavers. This particular region's rugs are celebrated for their exceptional durability and distinctive design vocabulary, often featuring the beloved Herati pattern-also known as Mahi (fish) motif-which consists of diamond medallions surrounded by curvilinear leaves and small fish-like elements that seem to swim throughout the field. The Afshan all-over pattern creates a mesmerizing secondary layer of geometric florals that dance across the entire surface, representing the Persian concept of eternal gardens.
The rich color story begins with the dominant madder red ground, a natural dye extracted from the madder root that has been prized for centuries for its deep, lustrous quality and ability to develop beautiful patina over time. Burgundy accents add depth and sophistication, while navy blue provides striking contrast in the intricate border systems and pattern details, symbolizing nobility and wisdom in Persian culture. Cream and beige highlights illuminate the delicate floral motifs, creating dimensional effects that shift beautifully with changing light throughout the day.
At 9'8" x 5'2" feet, this rug commands attention as a statement piece perfect for dining rooms, home offices, or as a dramatic accent in living spaces where its semi antique character can be fully appreciated. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that transforms any interior with its authentic Persian heritage and sophisticated color harmony. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots and natural wool construction ensure this heirloom-quality piece will continue to develop character and beauty for generations, making it both a stunning decorative element and a wise investment in authentic Persian artistry.
