A striking antique Persian Hamadan hand-knotted wool rug dating from the first half of the 20th century, distinguished by its rich indigo field, ivory lozenge medallion and beautifully drawn geometric floral motifs.
Hand woven in one of the renowned weaving villages of the Hamadan region in western Iran, the rug displays the bold, graphic designs and exceptional craftsmanship for which these carpets are celebrated. A beautifully balanced palette of deep indigo, madder red, ivory, soft sage green and sky blue gives the piece warmth and versatility, making it equally suited to traditional and contemporary interiors.
The wool pile has developed a wonderful mellow patina over time while retaining crisp pattern definition and vibrant natural colours. The reverse clearly shows the quality of the hand-knotted construction, a hallmark of authentic Persian craftsmanship.
A highly decorative piece, this rug is ideal for a sitting room, dining room, study or bedroom and would work equally well layered over timber or stone floors.
Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear commensurate with its age and use. It is structurally sound and ready for use.
A timeless investment piece that will add colour, texture and character to any interior.
