Persian Hamadan
Stock No: PE-232-001719
Size(m): 2.55×1.20
Indulge in the timeless beauty of this exquisite handmade rug from the illustrious Hamadan region of Persia, now known as Iran. Measuring 2.55 by 1.2 meters, this rug is a captivating masterpiece that seamlessly blends an array of enchanting hues including rich reds, soothing greys, delicate off-whites, verdant greens, and serene shades of blue.
At its core lies a mesmerizing central medallion adorned with a cross motif, symbolizing not religious connotations but profound cultural significance. The motif of crosses, prevalent in Persian rugs, symbolizes expansion to the four corners of the world, embracing the cardinal points of the compass.
Delving deeper, one discovers intricately woven representations of the revered Tree of Life within the rug's quadrants. The southern and northernmost regions showcase the most elaborate depictions, where branches laden with leaves evoke a sense of vitality and abundance. Nine interconnected flowers at the apex form a striking lozenge shape, further accentuating the rug's symbolic depth.
Throughout the design, stylized flowers and crosses flourish, each limb extending with grace and elegance. The dominant base color, a luscious brash red, seamlessly transitions into the guard borders, both inner and outer, where intricate floral motifs adorn the dark black background.
This magnificent carpet serves as a poignant ode to creation and the vibrancy of life, particularly resonant during the winter season—a time of ingenuity and renewal. The corner spandrels, with their pristine white base, continue the motif of the Tree of Life, uniting the entire composition with harmonious elegance.
Elevate any space with the timeless allure of this remarkable rug. Whether adorning a foyer to welcome guests or serving as a focal point in a living area, this piece promises to infuse your home with unparalleled beauty and sophistication. Purchase with confidence and embrace the enduring legacy of Persian craftsmanship.
For a classic living layout, place the rug in the centre of the room and place the front legs of your sofa and armchairs on the rug. This will help create a better aesthetic and cleaner appearance.
For those who don’t want a large rug but still want a warm underfoot when getting out of bed, we recommend a round or runner rug to place at either side of the bed.
For high traffic, spill-risk areas like the dining area, we recommend a low-pile rug and easy-to-clean material like polypropylene for a rug.
