Hand-Knotted Hamedan Rug, 3′ 7″x5′ 3″, Code: 1608

This stunning vintage Hamedan rug captivates with its dramatic presence and timeless elegance. The piece showcases a sophisticated composition centered around a magnificent medallion design that commands attention against a richly saturated navy field. The overall aesthetic embodies the authentic character and rustic charm that defines the finest examples of traditional Persian village weaving, with an aged patina that speaks to its genuine vintage provenance.

The design architecture reveals exceptional artistry, featuring a bold central medallion rendered in an intricate quatrefoil formation. This stunning centerpiece blooms with elaborate floral palmettes and arabesques in warm cream, vibrant red, and serene blue tones. The navy background is adorned with an all-over pattern of delicate geometric motifs and stylized floral elements that create remarkable visual depth. Corner spandrels echo the central medallion’s design vocabulary, establishing perfect symmetry and balance. The composition is elegantly framed by multiple borders—the main guard border presents a classical rosette and vine pattern in warm camel tones, while the outer border features striking paisley motifs in bold red and cream against a distinguished blue ground. The color palette harmoniously blends deep midnight navy, rich crimson red, warm golden cream, sophisticated slate blue, and subtle touches of olive green and terracotta.

The craftsmanship exemplifies the robust, enduring quality characteristic of Hamedan village production. Hand-knotted using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this rug displays the authentic irregularities and charming imperfections that collectors prize in genuine vintage pieces. At approximately 85 years old, it has developed a beautiful natural patina and lustrous sheen that only time can bestow. The medium pile height offers both comfort underfoot and durability for daily use. This versatile size makes it ideal for anchoring intimate seating arrangements, enhancing entryways, defining bedroom spaces, or adding cultural sophistication to studies and home offices. Its compact proportions and rich coloration allow it to integrate seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The pile material is 100% natural fine wool and the foundation is made of natural cotton.
