LoomBloom 3'9''x11'1'' Rusty Red Kurdish Hamadan Traditional Geometric Tribal Vintage Vegetable Dyes Wool Hand Knotted Oriental Area Rug

Vintage and in mint condition, this hand knotted Kurdish Hamadan wool runner arrives with its vegetable dyes fully intact and requires no restoration. The warm ivory-gold field features three large geometric medallions in navy and coral arranged vertically along the length of the runner. Each medallion incorporates angular forms with bold cross extensions that reach toward the borders, creating strong visual impact. The surrounding field is filled with traditional tribal motifs, including arrow trees, stepped forms, small diamonds, and geometric devices in maroon, sage, aqua, orange, and coral. Drawn from memory rather than formal patterns, these motifs reflect the spontaneous creativity of Kurdish village weaving. Vegetable dyes lend remarkable warmth and clarity to the color palette, which has developed exceptional harmony over time.

Story Behind the Art: Originating from the ancient city of Hamedan in western Iran, one of the country’s oldest and most prolific weaving centers, Hamedan rugs are renowned for their exceptional strength and long-lasting performance. Woven from robust local wool rich in natural character, these hand knotted rugs feature a dense, durable pile designed to withstand generations of use. Their designs typically showcase bold central or multiple medallions surrounded by angular vines, geometric motifs, stylized florals, and occasional animal figures, reflecting the tribal and village traditions of the region. While less formal than the intricate workshop rugs of other Persian weaving centers, Hamedan rugs possess a distinctive authenticity and expressive charm that celebrates the beauty of geometric design. Their combination of durable construction, rich color palettes, and powerful visual presence has made them enduring favorites among collectors and interior designers alike.
