About the Item

78737 Antique Black Persian Hamadan Rug, 02'10 x 04'05. Immerse yourself in the enigmatic splendor of this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Hamadan rug—a masterpiece born of centuries-old artistry and cultural reverence. Its deep midnight black field, as profound as ink on parchment, sets a dramatic stage for an intricate lattice of compartmental motifs. Each delicate blossom and angular vine emerges with precision, creating an interplay of form and shadow that evokes both mystery and grandeur. This is not merely a rug but a woven testament to the elegance of Persia’s storied past, a rare treasure designed for those who understand the quiet power of understated opulence. At the heart of its composition lies a mesmerizing repetition of botanical elements, rendered in earthy rusts, indigo blues, and softened golds. These motifs, symbolic of renewal and growth, unfurl like whispers of ancient gardens beneath the Persian moonlight. The luminous contrasts against the dark field bring the rug to life, transforming it into a visual poem where every knot speaks of patience, discipline, and a devotion to enduring beauty. Its rhythm of symmetry and subtle imperfection reflects the soul of the artisan weaver, whose hand gave permanence to fleeting inspiration. Enclosing this enigmatic tableau is a sophisticated carnation meander border, emblematic of eternal cycles and continuity. Framed by protective S-hook guard bands, the rug becomes more than an artwork—it is a sanctuary woven in wool, shielding its motifs in a sacred geometry of elegance and purpose. These protective patterns, deeply rooted in Persian symbolism, extend beyond aesthetics, embodying the balance of strength and grace cherished in both tribal and courtly settings. This antique Hamadan rug is a connoisseur’s choice, reserved for those whose collections transcend mere decoration and enter the realm of cultural guardianship. Its darkly refined palette, moody elegance, and storied provenance ensure it will command attention in the world’s most exclusive interiors, from private galleries to elite residences. To possess such a piece is to claim a fragment of Persia’s eternal artistry—a timeless heirloom that speaks of status, taste, and the rare privilege of stewardship. Rendered in variegated shades of black, navy blue, brick red, red, pink, royal blue, brown, and beige with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 02'10 x 04'05. Date: 1910s. Early 20th Century.
