Antique Hamadan Gallery Rug - 3’8” x 7’8”
#2539 Boteh Hamadan Long Rug
3’-8” x 7’-8”
AGE & ORIGIN:
1st Q. 20th C.
Persia
OVERVIEW:
Unfortunately, using the term ‘Hamadan’ as a designation can be somewhat restrictive as there are many different areas of Hamadan that produce differing qualities of rug. Some lean more Kurdish, others more fine, like Malayer, but can’t quite be given that name.
This rug finds itself in that pitfall, as the weave, while consistent with Hamadan, has a more Kurdish handle and colors, and fineness in the drawing that we might see on a Malayer. The borders are intriguing, displaying medallions that resemble butterflies, and the all-over boteh, while a commonly seen motif, is fluorescently displayed here in creative colors against a brown field.
CONDITION:
Several small patches, tears and end loss
