About the Item
72034 Vintage Persian Hamadan Rug, 08’07 x 11’08. Radiating a quiet grandeur rooted in tradition, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Hamadan rug offers a visual sonnet woven in symmetry and grace. At its heart lies a stepped medallion, anchored by palmette pendants and outlined with clarity against a vibrant madder red field. This medallion, like a glowing ember at the center of a hearth, exudes both calm and strength. Its geometric framing speaks to the tribal aesthetic of Hamadan weavers, whose work balances bold structure with lyrical pattern.
The field unfurls in an all-over Herati motif—known also as Mahi, the fish design—where each diamond cradles a central rosette, embraced by curving lanceolate leaves that shimmer like silver-scaled koi swimming through a stylized garden. The repetition of this design evokes a rhythmic meditation, as if the rug itself breathes with centuries of symbolism: flowers for beauty, fish for abundance, and leaves for enduring vitality.
Each corner spandrel is graced by triple diagonal bands, echoes of the Herati motif, creating a layered sense of depth and movement. Their interplay with the main design forms a lattice of visual energy, drawing the eye outward before re-centering it within the core of the composition. This dynamic geometry, softened by floral nuance, reflects the artistry of village weaving traditions where harmony and contrast coexist.
Framing the whole composition is a classic turtle border, its repeating angular floral forms flanked by triple meander guard bands. These botanical enclosures, both ornate and grounding, serve as a protective embrace for the rich internal narrative. A celebration of cozy refinement and dignified beauty, this vintage Hamadan rug offers a timeless invitation—to walk, rest, and reflect upon a canvas of enduring cultural elegance.
