Antique Hamadan West Persian Village Rug c.1920

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.
