Antique Boteh Hamadan
#2423 Boteh Square Hamadan
5’-1” x 6’-7”
AGE & ORIGIN:
1st Q. 20th C.
Persia
This Hamadan is slightly different than those we’ve dealt with before. The pile was cut much lower than other Hamadans and the weave is much finer, allowing for a bit more detail in the motifs. In fact, the detail was so fine, it could have nearly passed for a Malayer if we hadn’t had one for comparison. The main motif is an all-over boteh pattern that nestles each boteh among a field of vines, that has smaller boteh flanking the bottoms of each larger boteh. One of our Instagram followers compared it to a ‘Boteh Nursery’ which I think fits quite nicely.
There’s a reason why we call this the ‘boteh’ Hamadan. The more we look at it, the more boteh seem to appear.
CONDTION:
Complete guard border loss on both ends, could easily be overcasted. Isolated areas of wear.
