79255 Antique Persian Hussainabad Hamadan Rug Runner, 02'09 x 38'00.
Bathed in aristocratic allure, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Hussainabad Hamadan runner evokes the quiet grandeur of a bygone era. The midnight navy blue field serves as a sumptuous canvas for an allover arrangement of Herati motifs—rosettes encased in diamond lattices with opposing leaves and stylized blossoms that echo the rhythmic elegance of couture pattern work. Each element is meticulously curated in rich tones of rose, maroon, and royal blue, interspersed with inky shadows and radiant blushes of pink. The majestic composition achieves a balance between opulence and restraint, recalling the tailored precision and storied romance of luxury ateliers.
The spellbinding palette is both commanding and refined: deep navy and ink blue are tempered by soft beige and light rose, while accents of dark green and black lend a mysterious depth to the field. The interplay of colors, symmetrical forms, and fine detailing speaks to a sensibility that values both legacy and artistry—timeless traits seen in the world’s most revered fashion houses. Like a designer garment that reveals hidden stitching only to the knowing eye, this magnificent work of art invites intimate discovery across its expansive 38-foot length.
Framing the composition is an ivory border of meandering rosettes—each bloom an emblem of rarefied beauty—enclosed by inner and outer guard bands composed of the “running water” motif, symbolizing both continuity and protection. These rhythmic borders act like the hand-finished edges of a bespoke creation, elevating the piece into a visual symphony of balance and movement. The contrast between the luminous ivory border and the moody midnight field conjures the kind of visual tension found in the best haute couture designs—measured, evocative, unforgettable.
This precious antique Hussainabad runner transcends the utilitarian, emerging as a masterpiece of aesthetic prestige and enduring craftsmanship. It belongs to a lineage of heirlooms that once graced aristocratic halls and palatial galleries, woven not only for passage but for reverence. With its rich palette, iconic motif structure, and museum-worthy proportions, this piece offers more than elegance—it offers legacy dressed in the language of luxury.
