77214 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Hamadan Rug, 10'11 x 18'08.
Woven in the heart of the Hamadan weaving district during the late 19th century, this exceptional, hand-knotted wool Persian rug is a masterpiece of enduring craftsmanship and elevated design. With its sumptuous palette of midnight indigo, pomegranate, copper, pistachio, and moonlit ivory, the composition exudes sophisticated drama while maintaining the poise and restraint of timeless luxury. At its center, a cusped lozenge medallion unfurls with majestic precision, flanked by two regal pendants that burst with blossoming flora—each petal rendered with meticulous attention to detail. This is a rug that offers far more than ornamentation—it is an immersive expression of Persian refinement, rooted in tradition and reimagined as a symbol of high-end distinction.
The extraordinary field surrounding the medallion pulses with life, its mesmerizing surface animated by scrolling arabesque vines, stylized blossoms, and finely tuned botanical motifs. These enchanting botanical elements are not scattered randomly—they are choreographed with a rhythm that mirrors nature itself, a visual ballet where every bloom holds its place in a larger harmonious composition. The density of design evokes the feeling of a celestial garden at its peak—lush, layered, and teeming with poetic energy. As your eye moves from medallion to field, from border to corner, you are drawn into a world where exquisite craftsmanship becomes a language of heritage, and every woven detail speaks of legacy, impeccable artistry, and soulful storytelling.
The captivating corner spandrels echo the rug’s central elegance, blooming with botanical abundance in soft tones that contrast gently with the rug’s deeper field. Their dreamlike architectural symmetry creates a visual frame, a canvas of expression that lends both balance and richness to the composition. This equilibrium between movement and structure reflects the Persian weaving philosophy—where beauty is inseparable from order, and where timeless silhouettes are elevated through boundless creativity. Here, the spandrels serve as elegant sanctuaries for the eye, softening the intensity of the design and reinforcing the rug’s artisanal intelligence.
Surrounding it all is a lavish, ornamentally layered border of iconic Persian floral motifs: palmettes, lotus blossoms, rosettes, and vines—all interwoven with geometric discipline and botanical grace. The main border, rich in saffron, sage, and lapis tones, is encased within intricately decorated inner borders and guard bands, which serve as a quintessential tribute to the depth and complexity of Persian aesthetics. This is not merely a boundary—it is a majestic crescendo of visual storytelling, where the designer’s hand reveals a reverence for both classical form and inventive flourish. The result is a piece that embodies prestige, luxury, and the kind of bespoke artistry found only in the most coveted interiors.
To own this antique Persian Hamadan rug is to hold a piece of woven poetry—a precious, one-of-a-kind textile that speaks to the connoisseur who values meaning, rarity, and soulful refinement. It is more than a floor covering; it is a declaration of taste, a signature statement for rooms that favor exclusivity over excess, and authentic legacy over fleeting trend. Whether anchoring a stately library, a curated salon, or a grand hospitality space, this woven wonder brings with it not only history and elegance—but a sense of curated luxury that transforms a space into an experience.
