Antique Persian Hamadan Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

A rare colour antique Hamadan carpet with a wonderful fine weave and using an all over classical 'Herati' design.  This all over design is repeating in the main field which consists of a flower centred in a diamond with curving lanceolate leaves located outside the diamond and parallel to each side. There are many versions of this design in different shapes and varying sizes. This design has been stylised through the centuries and is supposed to represent two fish swimming around a water-lily, the design in 19th century carpets depicts two leaves around a flower.

The colours are sublime with the overall composition and palette having excellent balance which makes this an extremely attractive carpet.  The soft neutral tone background allows the lovely pale blues, pinks and greens in the spaced out lattice design to really enhance the carpet.  The blue border colour is fantastic and is a wonderful contrasting colour too.  Woven around 1900-1910 it is in remarkable original condition, with a good high wool pile throughout.  The weavers that produced this carpet were very accomplished and used the best dyes which have faded beautifully.  A rare narrower size carpet at just under 3 metres wide, more often antique carpets of this length of 5.70 metres long where much wider.

FAQs

Hamadan carpets originate from a historic weaving region in western Iran, encompassing hundreds of surrounding villages. They are recognised for their hand-knotted construction, geometric lattice or floral medallion patterns, and robust wool pile.

These rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a cotton or wool warp and weft foundation. Weavers historically utilised natural dyes to create deep indigo blues, madder reds, and soft cream background tones.

Authentic examples feature single-weft construction, asymmetrical hand-tied knots, and slight variations in design and dye tone known as abrash. Examining the underside reveals clear knot definition and natural wear consistent with hand-weaving.

A traditional Hamadan carpet grounds a contemporary scheme by providing colour contrast, textural depth, and historic detail. Position the rug beneath neutral furniture pieces or within a dining area to anchor the layout.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush to protect the pile fibres. Promptly blot spills with a clean, damp cloth and consult a specialist rug cleaner for periodic deep cleaning.
