Persian Hamadan Village Rug

Stock No. ADL-232-001717

Size(m): 2.40×1.35

This extraordinarily beautiful handmade wool carpet originates from the village of Hamadan in Persia, modern-day Iran. It is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic genius of Persian weavers.

The carpet's design is spectacular, embodying a harmonious blend of motifs that expand outward, akin to the ripples created when a pebble is dropped into water. The essence of the carpet is a six-sided diamond shape, central to the field.

At its heart, the first diamond shape features a stylized cross motif. This includes elements resembling Saint Andrew's cross (an 'X' shape) and Saint Patrick's cross (a traditional cross), symbolizing outward movement. While these crosses hold Christian significance in other cultures, in Persian design, they signify expansion and dynamism.

Surrounding this central motif, like nested Russian dolls, are progressively larger motifs. The first diamond expands into another, bordered by a band of rich blue. This motif is filled with evolving stylized flowers and patterns in deep blue, complemented by gentle blues, reds, oranges, and pale colors. This intricate layering continues, creating a sense of depth and movement.

The main field of the carpet features a striking abrash base color, characterized by its rich, evolving tones, typical of authentic handmade rugs dyed with natural pigments. The field is adorned with stylized floral motifs, enhancing its beauty and complexity.

Strong guard borders frame the carpet, adding boldness and richness. The main guard borders feature an array of floral patterns, proportionate to the band’s shape. The base color of these bands is a deep blue, slightly subtler than the vibrant central blue of the medallion motifs.

This carpet is a magnificent example of superb design and the extraordinary skill of master weavers. It promises to be a stunning accent in any room, whether in a modern or traditional setting. Purchase this carpet without hesitation; its spellbinding beauty will bring immense pleasure and serve as a cherished legacy for generations to come.
