Nahavand Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi-antique Nahavand Persian rug, measuring 9'8" x 5'4", showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers through its commanding medallion design set against a rich madder red field. The deep navy blue and cream accents create a striking contrast that has mellowed beautifully over four to six decades, while touches of dark red, indigo, ivory, and black add sophisticated depth to this hand-knotted treasure.
From the renowned weaving region of Hamadan in western Persia, Nahavand rugs represent centuries of nomadic and village weaving traditions that blend Turkic tribal influences with classical Persian aesthetics. The asymmetrical Persian knots used in this piece create the foundation for intricate Herati (Mahi) patterns that dance around the central toranj medallion, a design that has symbolized protection and cosmic harmony for generations of Persian rug makers.
The medallion's geometric precision speaks to the mathematical beauty inherent in Persian design philosophy, while the surrounding Herati motifs-often called the "fish pattern"-represent abundance and prosperity flowing through the home. This semi-antique piece carries the patina of age that only enhances its authentic character, making it a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any living space with genuine Persian heritage.
At 9'8" x 5'4", this Nahavand rug offers perfect proportions for defining intimate seating areas, anchoring dining spaces, or creating a luxurious foundation in bedrooms and studies. The madder red field provides warmth and richness, while the navy blue borders and cream highlights ensure versatility with both traditional and contemporary furnishings, making this treasure from Los Angeles Home of Rugs an investment in timeless Persian artistry.
The natural wool construction and cotton foundation demonstrate the quality materials that have made Nahavand weavings prized for generations, while the traditional fringe finishing adds authentic detail that speaks to the rug's village origins and the skilled hands that created this enduring work of functional art.
