Artistic Hamadan rug

Object Description

This early Hamadan rug has a grand scale proportion usually found in much larger furnishing carpets. Each palmette in the central field is creatively repeated in a different shape and colour composition, framed by a simple blue border. The subtle shift in colour from blue to grey beautifully complements the artistic array of vegetable dyed colours, which have aged nicely.

A lovely example with charming naivety.

Object History

Many various ethnic groups settled in the  surrounding Hamadan region over the centuries and this cultural diversity is reflected in the unique designs of Hamadan weavings.

Object Condition

In excellent practical condition for everyday use.
