Persian Hamadan Village Rug
Stock No. ADL-232-001511
Size(m): 2.32×1.30
This magnificent handmade carpet from the Hamadan area in Persia, modern-day Iran, measures 2.32 by 1.30 meters and is a stunning example of traditional craftsmanship. The central medallion, reminiscent of ripples created by a pebble dropped into water, features a geometric expansion that draws the eye with its captivating design.
At the very heart of the medallion lies a circular gold shape, surrounded by successive motifs that create a lozenge pattern. This pattern evolves outward, with a striking white outline of a diamond (a square turned 45 degrees) anchoring the visual flow of the carpet. This intricate design provides a dynamic and mesmerizing focal point.
The central medallion's base color is a rich blue, exhibiting the beautiful abrash effect caused by natural dye variations. This variation adds depth and energy, making the blue field vibrant and alive. The medallion itself is stylized into a six-sided diamond with jagged, serrated edges on four sides, contributing to the carpet's dynamic aesthetic.
The base field color of the carpet is a stunning array of rose, red, and pink hues, enhanced by the organic variations in dye and the natural patina of aging. These colors harmonize beautifully with the non-stylized flowers on either side of the central medallion, which are clearly recognizable and add a touch of natural elegance.
In the broader field of the carpet, the flowers become more stylized, suggesting nature’s emblem of regeneration and growth. This springtime imagery is a celebration of renewal and the promise of future prosperity, encapsulated in the seeds carried by the flowers.
The main guard border features beautifully stylized motifs, including six-sided shapes reminiscent of the central medallion's periphery but without the serrated edges. These motifs, arranged in a nested Russian doll fashion, continue the central theme of interconnectedness and expansion.
In the carpet's corners, the spandrels are rendered in a deep black, each containing a stylized animal motif and a repeating lozenge pattern, echoing the central medallion’s design. These elements add to the carpet's rich visual narrative and symbolic depth.
This carpet's exquisite design and vibrant colors make it a versatile piece, suitable for both traditional and modern settings. It is a brilliant and beautiful example of Persian artistry, promising to be a cherished legacy for future generations. Purchase this extraordinary masterpiece today and experience its timeless beauty and cultural significance.
