About the Item
61454 Antique Persian Hamadan Rug, 01'06 x 02'08. This hand-knotted antique Persian Hamadan rug is a rare testament to the region’s most poetic weaving traditions—an intimate masterpiece that once would have adorned the private quarters of esteemed families. Its composition opens with a commanding central medallion, delicately framed by rosettes and encircled by a lively aviary of stylized birds. Set against a sumptuous navy blue field, the imagery radiates a regal stillness, as though one is gazing into a sacred garden preserved in wool and time.
Around this navy blue medallion, the celestial field becomes a theater of motion. Birds soar in rhythmic formation, their angular silhouettes contrasted by the softer blossoms and abstracted florals woven with the confident hand of a seasoned artisan. The effect is mesmerizing—a dynamic interplay of geometry, symbolism, and storytelling that elevates this extraordinary masterpiece from functional textile to collectible art. In elite rug circles, such balanced compositions are prized for their rarity and unmistakable cultural integrity.
The beige corner spandrels extend this narrative with their own ensemble of iconic birds and floral motifs, dissolving into gently serrated outlines that frame the field with an air of natural elegance. Their pale tones create a luminous contrast to the deep navy core, producing a visual harmony reminiscent of manuscript illumination or carved stonework in historic Persian sanctuaries. Every detail speaks to Hamadan’s enduring legacy: expressive, bold, and irresistibly authentic.
Enclosing this exquisite work of art is a distinctive S-hook border—an ancient motif symbolizing continuity, life force, and unbroken protection. Here, it acts as a refined perimeter that both anchors the design and amplifies the runner’s ceremonial presence. For collectors and connoisseurs seeking a piece that embodies prestige, heritage, and artistic soul, this antique Hamadan rug offers not just beauty, but an heirloom narrative—one that enriches any space with the quiet authority of centuries-old craftsmanship.
