Description

Antique Hamadan Village Rug, West Persia, Circa 1920

A characterful early 20th-century Hamadan village rug from West Persia, dating to around 1920. The design features a warm camel-coloured lattice field centred by a bold, stepped indigo hexagonal medallion, enriched with stylised plant forms and tribal motifs. The surrounding spandrels incorporate lively zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures, adding charm and visual interest, all framed within narrow indigo borders with traditional guard stripes.

Hand-knotted in wool, this is a well-balanced and decorative example of a classic Hamadan type, with strong colour contrast and an appealing, slightly tribal character. Its proportions make it particularly versatile, well suited to a hallway, bedside position, or smaller living space, where it adds warmth and texture without overpowering the room.

Dimensions:

Approx. 214 cm long × 133 cm wide (7' × 4'4")

Condition:

Good condition, commensurate with age.

The pile remains deep with minimal wear and retains good body throughout. Fringes have been trimmed, as often seen on rugs of this type and age. Colours are even and well preserved. The rug has been vacuumed, deodorised, and treated for moth prevention, and is clean and ready for immediate use. As expected with antique textiles, minor signs of age and use are present, but overall it remains a strong and attractive decorative piece.

Hamadan rugs originate from one of the oldest trading towns in Western Persia, traditionally characterised by sturdy wool foundations, geometric or medallion motifs, and rich vegetable-dyed palettes of indigo blue and madder red.

These pieces are hand-knotted using locally sourced handspun wool for both the pile and the foundation threads, often featuring cotton warps in later twentieth-century examples, secured with sturdy overcast selvedges.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of the hand-knotted pile, variations in vegetable dye lots known as abrash, natural wear patterns, and the density of knots on the reverse side.

They serve as grounding elements in contemporary spaces, adding texture and historical contrast when layered over hardwood floors or neutral broadloom carpets in living areas and studies.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary brushes, professional specialist washing when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
