About the Item
75975 Vintage Persian Hamadan Pictorial Rug 04’04 x 06’06. This exceptional hand-knotted wool vintage Persian pictorial rug is a mesmerizing narrative woven in the finest tradition of Persian storytelling, where art, spirituality, and symbolism converge. The garden scene unfolds with theatrical vibrancy: a devoted Dervish sits humbly before his master, both adorned in traditional Persian garb, the master presenting sacred Sufi symbols—a tabazine (ax) and a kashkol (begging bowl). These signature objects, deeply rooted in Sufi mysticism, symbolize renunciation of worldly desire and the embrace of divine love. Blossoming trees and doves, universal emblems of peace and enlightenment, surround them, creating an ethereal setting that feels almost otherworldly in its serenity.
The figures themselves are rendered with a strikingly modern energy despite their classical roots. The Dervish’s aqua hair and bright pink nails contrast playfully against the deep ink-blue backdrop, a daring artistic choice that elevates the rug beyond tradition into the realm of unique collector’s art. Their flushed pink lips, delicately knotted with the weaver’s masterful precision, capture the vitality and youthful devotion of the spiritual path. Inspired by the mystic poetry and lives of Nur Ali Shah and Mostaq Ali Shah, this extraordinary masterpiece channels the transcendent narratives celebrated in Sufi lore while simultaneously showcasing a contemporary Persian artistic flair.
Few pictorial rugs possess this degree of cultural depth, vibrant color palette, and expressive individuality, making it an exceptional rarity among Persian weaving traditions. Hamadan is renowned for its village weaves, yet this example transcends its regional categorization, aligning instead with collector-grade pictorials sought by connoisseurs for their narrative complexity. Every detail—from the sinuous branches dotted with birds to the masterful shading of garments—reveals a weaver not only skilled in technical execution but deeply attuned to spiritual storytelling.
Owning an exquisite work of art of this caliber is to acquire more than an antique; it is to claim a woven manuscript of Persian spiritual history. This is a statement piece for the collector who values exclusivity and symbolic richness, one that transforms any room into a gallery of poetic reverence. Its scarcity ensures that it stands as a singular treasure, an heirloom that embodies both the mysticism of Sufi philosophy and the prestige of Persian artistry at its most imaginative.
Rendered in variegated shades of ink blue, navy blue, royal blue, aqua, sky blue, coral, salmon, red, pink, orange, aqua, teal, brass, olive, ocher, green, and ivory with other accent colors.
