This Hamadan antique rug, measuring 127 x 206 cm, presents a muted harmony of cream, blue, white, and brown with charcoal depth in the borders and field. A serrated central medallion opens into layered floral and boteh ornament, while the border system adds structure with geometric intervals and worn, decorative motifs. Medium distress softens the pattern across the surface and brings a gentle, timeworn character to the wool. Circa 1920 - 1940, it captures the compact, expressive language of Hamadan weaving, where colour and ornament are held in quiet balance.
