90026 Antique Persian Hamadan Rug, 11'09 x 15'07. This enchanting antique Persian Hamadan rug is a stunning masterpiece that captures the essence of traditional Persian craftsmanship. The grandeur central medallion, with its elaborate and intricate design, serves as the focal point of the composition. It features an array of botanical elements and organic formations, creating a rich tableau of color and pattern. The medallion is surrounded by a deep blue and sapphire richly striated field, which provides a striking contrast to the softer, pastel tones of the floral motifs. These botanical motifs include a variety of flowers, each meticulously rendered to showcase the weaver's attention to detail and artistic flair.
The corner spandrels of the rug mirror the central medallion's design, creating a harmonious balance that enhances the overall aesthetic. These corner-medallion designs are intricately woven with floral and geometric patterns, seamlessly blending with the central medallion and adding depth to the rug's visual appeal. The corner-medallion design is adorned with an assortment of flowers and botanical elements, including delicate blossoms and leafy vines, which contribute to the organic, garden-like atmosphere of the piece.
One of the most captivating features of this Persian masterpiece is the variation of the turtle vine scroll border, which frames the central field. This main border design is a classic element in Persian rugs, characterized by its flowing, vine-like patterns. Flanking this central border is double inner and outer floral meander guard borders, which adds an extra layer of complexity and beauty. The guard borders are adorned with a series of interconnected floral motifs, creating a continuous, undulating pattern that creates a lush enclosure to this formal composition.
The color palette of this Persian Hamadan rug is both vibrant and harmonious. The rich, deep blues of the field contrast beautifully with the softer tones of pinks, reds, ivories, and greens found in the floral and geometric designs. These colors are derived from natural dyes, which not only enhance the rug's beauty but also speak to its authenticity and age. The backside of this antique rug reveals a dense, symmetrical knotting pattern, typical of Persian rugs from the Hamadan region, known for their robust construction and high-quality wool pile. The interplay of these colors, along with the intricate patterns and masterful weaving, make this Late 19th Century Persian area rug a true work of art, embodying the timeless elegance and enduring appeal of Persian craftsmanship.
