Hamadan / 17956

This Hamadan antique rug, 107 x 284 cm, unfolds in a narrow, elongated composition with a densely patterned field and a framing border of geometric village motifs. Woven in wool, its palette of brown, cream, taupe, and grey-brown tones is warmed by age, with softened contrast and visible wear that keep the design from feeling too rigid. The surface shows medium distress, including gentle fading and tonal shifts across the field. Circa 1925 - 1945, it carries the expressive, collected character associated with Hamadan rugs, while remaining clear in its structure and detail.
