Code 8589 Persian Hamadan Herati 205x152cm Hand knotted

Hamadan rugs are a remarkable representation of Persian artistry, renowned for their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and cultural richness. These rugs often feature a floral central medallion, a classic design element that serves as the focal point, drawing the viewer’s eye to the heart of the rug. Surrounding this medallion are mesmerizing Herati motifs, a traditional Persian design consisting of a diamond-shaped floral pattern with fish-like elements—a symbol of prosperity and fertility.

The colors of Hamadan rugs are rich, primarily featuring red, blue, and cream tones. These hues are achieved through natural plant dyes that provide a depth of color and, over time, develop a beautiful patina, giving the rug an antique appearance with a subtle sheen. This patina is enhanced by oxidation, allowing the colors to age gracefully and emit a gentle, natural glow. The wool used is soft lamb’s wool, which not only gives the rug a luxurious feel but also contributes to its resilience.

Hamadan rugs are hand-knotted by skilled artisans, who use traditional techniques passed down through generations. These weavers are celebrated for their expertise, ensuring that each rug is crafted to withstand time and use, making Hamadan rugs exceptionally durable. Known as “Persian treasures,” these rugs are not only practical floor coverings but also embody the cultural heritage of Persia, connecting modern homes with the historical legacy of Persian craftsmanship.
