Antique Persian Hamadan Rug

About the Item

61016 Antique-Worn Persian Hamadan Rug, 04'02 x 07'00. Distressed antique-washed Hamadan rugs are authentic Persian rugs, originating from the Hamadan region in Iran, that have undergone a deliberate process to create a weathered or worn appearance, giving them a sense of age and history. This distressing technique involves washing the rug to fade the colors, soften the fibers, and create an overall worn-in look. The intentional wear and fading mimic the natural aging process of antique rugs, providing a sense of authenticity and character. In this hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Hamadan rug, an exquisite fusion of relaxed refinement and modern rustic charm unfolds against a backdrop of earth-tone elegance. Set upon a richly striated canvas, a captivating diamond trellis pattern emerges, embellished with symbolic scorpion motifs believed to ward off negative energies and black magic while evoking sentiments of pride and liberty. Delving deeper into the intricate details of this rugged masterpiece reveals a captivating interplay of enigmatic motifs and warm earth-tone hues, forming a mesmerizing juxtaposition within the geometric arrangement. As our gaze traverses the intricate design, we encounter a visual symphony where ambiguous motifs seamlessly intertwine with earthy colors, creating a tableau of captivating allure. The main rectilinear meander border, flanked by secondary guard borders featuring running dog and running water motifs, adds a sense of structure and definition to the composition. Meanwhile, the natural abrash gradations lend an air of authenticity to this antique Hamadan rug, infusing it with a welcoming and convivial atmosphere that exudes laid-back luxury. From cozy cabin retreats nestled in the mountains to picturesque ski chalets and Alpine lodges, antique Persian rugs like this Hamadan masterpiece have the remarkable ability to transcend borders and cultures, effortlessly infusing any space with a touch of global allure and quiet sophistication.
