Let's check out this palatial Persian dream rug—a true wonder from the 1930s Hamadan region, boasting plush, luxurious wool that feels soft and cushy underfoot (your feet will thank you). Exact size?: 11'3 x 20'6
This beauty was woven with vegetable-dyed wool, meaning its colors have aged like fine wine—deep, rich, and totally one-of-a-kind. The field? Midnight blue so deep it reads as black. The border? A vibrant coral that brings everything to life along with deeper fiery orange-red. The guard borders? Tan-camel or perhaps we can say walnut. You'll also see sailor blue, French blue and ice blue. Oh, and a muted Pistachio green and pink. You'll also see some pastel yellow and classic ivory. And let’s talk about those sneaky little details—the ones that make this piece a total original...the pops of golden yellow that only appear in certain places—like a fingerprint.
Ok, now let's talk about the design of this Persian; it's rooted in the timeless Herati pattern—a classic motif that has graced Persian rugs for centuries, known for its symbolism of prosperity and protection, which is beautifully executed here. At the heart of this palatial rug also lies a striking central medallion, a focal point that commands attention while seamlessly blending into the intricate Herati field. It’s a beautifully proportioned design, echoing the rhythm of the surrounding motifs yet standing apart with its refined symmetry and rich detailing. The medallion itself is set on an ivory ground with French blue and abrashed coral than leans into fiery orange red, giving it just the right amount of contrast to catch the eye without overpowering the rug’s flow. It anchors the composition, drawing you into the mesmerizing movement of the field while reinforcing the grandeur of this piece. It’s that perfect balance of structure and fluidity—a testament to the master weavers who brought it to life nearly a century ago.
But let’s get back to the wool. This rug boasts a healthy, plush wool pile, making it luxurious and soft underfoot, yet durable enough to last for generations. It’s in excellent condition, and once you roll it out, you’ll see its amazing quality and presence firsthand—this is the kind of rug that transforms the space it will live and serve in. It’s durable, timeless, and priced at a great value—aka, a total knockout. Got questions? Feel free to message and ask, I love talking rugs!
