About the Item

77149 Vintage Persian Hamadan Rug, 09'09 x 13'02. An exquisite exemplar of Persian village weaving, this hand-knotted wool vintage Hamadan rug evokes a sense of regal elegance, cultivated refinement, and timeless rarity. At its heart lies a captivating diamond medallion—tilted like a precious jewel—burning in deep crimson against a sea of midnight blue. The medallion anchors the composition with a sense of symmetry and balance, radiating an understated opulence that calls to mind the great court carpets of Safavid Iran, while remaining deeply rooted in the authenticity of Hamadan’s rural artistry. The expansive field is a masterclass in botanical geometry—populated with stylized floral rosettes, vinery, and abstract palmettes—each element woven with rhythmic precision and saturated with rare vegetal dyes. The inky blue field is not static but pulses with motion, thanks to its tightly woven latticework of repeating blossoms that resemble the ancient and signature Herati motif, abstracted into a dreamlike mosaic. Ivory spandrels at the rug’s four corners offer a luminous counterpoint, gently lifting the eye and guiding it toward the lush border’s intricate dance of scrolling vines and tulip motifs. The border design, enriched in ruby and sapphire tones, evokes the cyclical beauty of Persian garden architecture—a symbol of paradise itself. Woven during the Mid-20th century, this extraordinary masterpiece is likely the work of a skilled artisan working in or around the greater Hamadan region, known for their elevated craftsmanship and complex dye palettes. The weave density and intricacy suggest a weaver trained in both village technique and urban design sensibilities. This is not merely a functional textile but a woven manuscript of cultural memory—an heirloom bearing the symbolism of harmony, vitality, and the eternal cycle of nature. The placement of a single medallion within a floral expanse suggests a cosmos in perfect balance, with the center of the universe rendered in wool. For the collector or connoisseur, this exclusive work of art transcends its utilitarian role. It becomes a portal—a tactile expression of Persian metaphysics, a storied canvas of soul and soil. The rarity of such large-format Hamadan rugs in this pristine condition, featuring an uninterrupted field of fine floral latticework and saturated jewel tones, makes this an extraordinary acquisition for those who seek more than luxury: those who crave meaning woven into beauty, and legacy embedded in every knot. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Iran (Persia). Measures: 09'09 x 13'02. Pile Height: 0.36 of an inch. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
