A Richly Colored Mid-Century Masterpiece
This charming vintage Hamadan rug represents the peak of mid-20th century tribal weaving, hand-knotted from soft, durable wool in the West Asian weaving traditions circa 1950s. Hamadan rugs are celebrated for their distinctive geometric patterns, exceptional resilience, and masterful use of saturated colors derived from natural vegetable dyes that create the warm, vibrant palette that has made these rugs beloved by collectors and designers for generations.
Bold Stepped Hexagonal Medallions
The design centers around a striking arrangement of stepped, hexagonal medallions that create a powerful visual rhythm across the deep indigo field. These geometric forms demonstrate the sophisticated understanding of pattern and symmetry that characterizes the Hamadan weaving tradition, with each medallion containing intricate interior patterns that reveal themselves upon closer inspection.

This substantial border is adorned with intricate reciprocal patterns that demonstrate the mathematical precision of tribal design, creating a finished, architectural quality that enhances the rug's presence in any interior space.
Dynamic Earth-Tone Color Palette
The lively, repetitive patterns throughout the field and borders are executed in a harmonious medley of earthy tones including mustard yellow, ivory, teal, and terracotta. These colors interact beautifully against the deep indigo background, creating a complex, layered appearance that gives the rug both visual depth and warm, inviting energy perfect for contemporary living spaces.
