Hand-Knotted Hamedan Rug, 6′ 9″x10′ 12″, Code: 1610

This stunning vintage Hamedan rug commands attention with its bold, dramatic presence and exceptional character that only decades of careful aging can bestow. The piece radiates an authentic tribal spirit, showcasing the uncompromising artistic vision characteristic of village weavers from this celebrated weaving region. Its generous proportions and striking visual impact make it an extraordinary statement piece that bridges traditional heritage with contemporary sophistication.

The design features a magnificent triple medallion composition set against a luxurious crimson field, creating a captivating visual rhythm that draws the eye through the entire length of the rug. Three substantial geometric medallions anchor the central axis, each rendered in complementary shades of charcoal brown and ivory, adorned with intricate floral rosettes in coral, pink, and golden yellow. The medallions are connected by an elegant vertical chain of geometric motifs, creating a harmonious flow throughout the composition. Scattered across the rich red field are charming tribal boteh motifs and stylized floral elements, while delicate chevron patterns dance along the sides, adding movement and energy to the design. The corners feature distinctive charcoal spandrels embellished with suspended floral ornaments, a signature element of Hamedan artistry. The border system is equally captivating, with a vibrant main guard featuring a dynamic succession of geometric forms in deep navy, burgundy, tangerine, golden ochre, and fuchsia pink, creating a jewel-like frame that perfectly complements the central field.

Hand-knotted using traditional village techniques, this rug exemplifies the robust construction and authentic character for which Hamedan weavings are renowned. The medium pile density provides excellent durability while maintaining a supple, comfortable texture underfoot. Its substantial size makes it ideal for anchoring a formal dining room, defining a sophisticated living space, or adding warmth and cultural depth to a master bedroom. The vintage patina has mellowed the colors to perfection, creating subtle variations and depth that only authentic age can provide, while the natural abrash—those beautiful gradations in tone—adds dimensional richness throughout. This is a collector-worthy piece that will continue to appreciate in both beauty and value.

The Pile material is 100% natural fine wool and the foundation is made of natural cotton. The lustrous wool exhibits the exceptional quality characteristic of highland sheep, displaying remarkable resilience and a beautiful sheen that catches and reflects light beautifully throughout the day.
