A cozy slice of 1920s Persian craftsmanship, this Hamadan scatter rug is a feast for the eyes. Its poled central medallion sits like a jewel in a sea of rich, vegetable dyed wool, bursting with deep reds, sky blues, and that irresistible pistachio green within the spandrels. Around the medallion, the field teems with small, geometric botanical motifs, each one a carefully placed brushstroke in this woven piece of floor art. The design feels lively, almost rhythmic, as if the motifs are in an animated conversation with each other.
The caterpillar motif border wiggles around the edges, keeping company with elongated paisleys that stretch and curl like flames dancing in a gentle breeze against an ivory ground. The color shifts? Absolutely delicious, subtle variations that remind you this piece was made by human hands, not by machines. Sturdy and ready for high traffic areas, this rug has already seen a century and isn’t afraid of a few more. A proper heirloom, it is full of stories that have been woven into its very fibers.
