1940's Persian Nahavand Hamadan Carpet with Tribal Style

About the Item

75745 Vintage Persian Nahavand Hamadan Rug, 04’05 x 07’07. Like a relic of an ancient world imbued with the whispers of tribal artistry, this vintage Persian Nahavand Hamadan rug unveils a mesmerizing visual narrative. At its heart lies a stepped pole medallion, gracefully anchored with trefoil pendants and spiked finials at either end, as if reaching toward the past and future in eternal harmony. The open brown field, rich and earthy, serves as a tranquil backdrop, allowing the striking motifs to take center stage. Within the central pink stepped hexagonal medallion, a symphony of tribal symbols and human figures weave an enigmatic tale, while the dark trefoil pendants and spiked finials bloom with intricate geometric floral motifs, evoking the spirit of Nahavand's time-honored weaving traditions. A rhythmic diagonal inner guard border elegantly encloses the composition, its palette a seamless extension of the hues found within the field. This subtle yet powerful framing device enhances the Hamadan rug’s innate sense of balance, its diagonal lines guiding the eye toward the rug’s deeper secrets. The corner spandrels, softened by abrash pink hues, are adorned with ambiguous tribal motifs, rectilinear florals, and serrated contours, their asymmetry adding to the Persian rug’s organic, lived-in charm. These spandrels act as portals into the artistic mind of the weaver, their designs an abstract meditation on nature and tradition. Enclosing this textile masterpiece in a final embrace, the rosette and serrated leaf border unfolds like a vine of untamed beauty, a timeless guardian encircling the inner tableau. This expressive border is flanked by an inner and outer floral meander guard band, each delicate tendril forming a lush enclosure, further enhancing the Hamadan rug’s sense of depth and movement. The interplay of botanical forms and jagged motifs creates a visual contrast that speaks to the dynamic fusion of structure and spontaneity—hallmarks of Persian tribal rugs. Every thread in this Nahavand Hamadan rug carries a whisper of its origin, a testament to the hands that meticulously knotted it into being. The boldness of its design, softened by time and tradition, grants it a soulful presence, making it an evocative addition to any space. Whether gracing a modern interior with its raw authenticity or anchoring a traditional setting with its storied past, this Persian treasure stands as a bridge between history and contemporary beauty—an heirloom of artistry that continues to enchant and inspire. Rendered in variegated shades of sienna, coffee, brown, pink, salmon, teal, verdigris, dark green, taupe, ecru, beige, tan, greige, gray, oyster gray, and hot pink with other accent colors. Abrash. One repair. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 04'05 x 07'07. Date: 1940's. Mid-20th Century.
