This antique Hamedan rug (3.8 × 8.10 ft) is a brilliant example of geometric storytelling, handwoven with the bold clarity characteristic of tribal Persian craftsmanship. A trio of stepped medallions commands the center field, set against a camel-toned ground and flanked by sharply rendered chevron panels that ripple outward like protective wings.
The palette is grounded in earthy rusts, deep indigo, walnut, and ivory, with subtle abrash variations adding texture and warmth. Flanking motifs — including small rosettes and latch-hooked diamonds — speak to the maker’s cultural heritage, echoing centuries-old weaving traditions from northwest Iran. The border features a rhythm of stylized leaves and rosettes that neatly frame the composition without detracting from the powerful central design.
This rug’s compact yet visually arresting format makes it ideal for transitional spaces, home libraries, or as a bold statement in an entryway. Its rustic authenticity and antique age lend a grounded, lived-in elegance to any interior.
