78339 Late 19th Century Antique Pink Persian Dergazine Hamadan Rug, 12'09 x 20'08.
Hailing from the late 19th century, this hand-knotted wool Persian Dergazine Hamadan rug is an exceptional testament to the refinement and prestige of Darjazin village weaving. Woven in Iran’s Hamadan province, where the most skilled artisans produced rugs of superior finesse, this masterpiece radiates an aura of rarity and exclusivity. The field, in a delicate yet commanding rose-pink, is densely adorned with an intricate allover lattice of Herati motifs—rosettes, serrated leaves, and diamond palmettes—each rendered with an elegance that elevates the rug from mere decoration to a symbol of heritage and status.
At its heart lies a striking ink-blue hexagonal medallion, richly embellished with finely detailed Herati scrollwork. Its serrated red and indigo edges radiate strength and harmony, creating a mesmerizing focal point that commands both reverence and admiration. This medallion is not only a design element but also a metaphor for balance and order, reflecting the Persian ideal of unity within complexity—a timeless quality that resonates with today’s collectors seeking more than beauty, but meaning.
The border frames this artistry with poise and grandeur. Executed in deep inky blues and earthy tones, the palmette-and-rosette border is flanked by triple meander guard bands, embodying both protection and continuity. This framing device provides rhythm and structure while amplifying the drama of the pink field, creating a powerful dialogue between restraint and opulence. It is precisely this interplay that defines the rug as a connoisseur’s piece, one reserved for interiors that demand sophistication and gravitas.
Beyond its visual triumph, this Dergazine Hamadan rug is a legacy object—a scarce survivor of late 19th century Persian weaving at its apex. The plush, durable wool pile, dyed with natural colors mellowed to a noble patina, speaks to generations of careful tradition. By acquiring such a piece, one participates not only in the preservation of cultural artistry but also in the continuum of social good, sustaining the heritage of weaving communities. Scarcity and symbolic power converge here: an heirloom of profound beauty, destined to confer prestige and cultural depth upon any collection it graces.
