Hamadan Medallion Rug - 3’3” x 6’4”
#2451 Antique Hamadan
3’-3” x 6’-4”
AGE & ORIGIN:
c. 1900
Persia
OVERVIEW:
Hamadan rugs have a rather large design pool because the region they are made in became a powerhouse of rug exports at the beginning of the 20th century, catering to European tastes for a fraction of the cost. As a result, many of the designs are more rudimentary than the rugs they were imitating.
Finding a Hamadan from this time period in good condition is rare, mostly because these rugs really were workhorses in American and European homes. Therefore, finding one in this good of condition warrants attention.
While some of the original dyes used on this rug were clearly synthetic, the colors that remain are modest, subtle and work well with modern interior design trends.
CONDITION:
Even wear with old edge binding for selvedge and fringe. This could be removed or kept to prevent any end degredation.
