75776 Vintage Persian Hamadan Rug, 10'04 x 13'05.
This exceptional hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Hamadan rug radiates a quiet grandeur that transcends fleeting trends—an heirloom piece rooted in tradition, yet tailored for the discerning connoisseur of timeless design. Its allover signature Herati pattern—a sophisticated lattice of diamond-shaped rosettes entwined with stylized leaves and swimming fish—unfurls across a lustrous rust-colored field, evoking the sunlit adobe hues of the Iranian highlands. Each motif is symmetrically placed yet softly variegated, offering a meditative rhythm that balances meticulous geometry with natural grace.
The Herati design, with origins in ancient Persian court artistry, is more than a decorative flourish—it symbolizes protection, abundance, and the cyclical beauty of nature. Rendered here in warm, mineral-rich tones with subtle shades of blue, brown, and brick red, the exclusive pattern becomes a living mosaic of heritage. This seamless repetition creates not just visual texture but also a symbolic garden—ever-blooming, eternal, and spiritually resonant.
Framing this visual symphony is a botanical border adorned with palmettes, lotus blossoms, and saz leaves, emblematic of vitality and renewal in Persian visual language. The curling saz leaves—iconic in Ottoman and Safavid design—imbue the frame with dynamic movement, while the lotus blossoms offer serene balance. This majestic border is further flanked by a series of inner and outer floral meander guard bands, their delicate tracery providing ornamental counterpoint and a whisper of classical harmony.
An extraordinary expression of Persian artistry, this vintage Hamadan rug speaks to those who value cultural legacy, rarity, and conscious collecting. More than a floor covering, this exuisite work of art is a bespoke statement of refinement, a scarce textile treasure woven with intention. Ideal for spaces curated with meaning, this precious piece invites its beholder to walk not only across wool and color, but through the storied echoes of Persia itself.
