About the Item

A Poetic Antique from Persian Villages This handmade vintage Persian Hamadan rug, dating from the 1950s, is a truly captivating piece that beautifully blends artistic symbolism with the robust charm of village weaving. Originating from the Hamadan region in western Iran, these rugs are celebrated for their sturdy wool construction and their diverse array of designs. This particular rug is distinguished by its cherished "Tree of Life" motif and the delightful inclusion of birds, creating a timeless narrative woven into its very fabric. Symbolic Design and Soft Palette The rug features a serene light ivory or beige field that serves as a canvas for its enchanting design. Dominating the center is a gracefully stylized "Tree of Life," with its branches reaching upwards, adorned with abundant stylized flowers and verdant foliage. Throughout the tree's branches and at its base, numerous birds are artfully depicted, appearing as if perched or nestled amidst the blooms, adding a lively and symbolic dimension to the composition. The color palette is wonderfully soft and harmonious, featuring muted shades of terracotta, warm red, deep plum, and subtle browns, with delicate accents of blue and green within the intricate details. A complementary border, with repeating geometric or simplified floral motifs, frames the main design, enhancing its classic appeal. Handcrafted Artistry and Enduring Character Hand-knotted from 100% natural wool, this Persian Hamadan rug showcases the durable construction typical of the region's village weavers. Its traditional knotting ensures a resilient and long-lasting textile. This vintage piece is in good condition, exhibiting some age wear consistent with its journey through time and everyday use. This includes subtle variations in pile height and a gentle softening of colors, which contribute to its authentic character and cannot be replicated in new rugs. This natural patina enhances its antique beauty, lending a unique depth and story to the rug. The rug has been professionally cleaned and is ready to enrich your home. Timeless Beauty for Thoughtful Spaces The captivating aesthetic and symbolic depth of this vintage Persian Hamadan rug make it an exceptional addition to a wide range of interiors. It is perfectly suited to add warmth, character, and a poetic touch to a living room, study, entryway, or as a focal point in a bedroom. For collectors and enthusiasts of genuine vintage textiles, this Hamadan rug represents a significant acquisition, offering both superb decorative appeal and a tangible connection to the esteemed tradition of Persian weaving. It is more than just a floor covering; it is a piece of living art, ready to be cherished for generations to come. 3.
