4′ x 5’10” Antique Hamadan Rug, West Persia,  Circa 1910

A colleague with more experience with antique rugs produced in specific villages within west Persia’s Hamadan province helped us identify this as a weaving more than likely from the Hamadan area. The weave, with a twisted knot style seen in a small number of rug types from various areas in Persia, including Enjelas in Hamadan; Senneh in Kurdistan; and some so-called “Senneh-Baf” (“Senneh weave”) rugs from Tabriz in northwest Persia’s Azerbaijan province, is uncommon. This rug has nothing about it that suggests an origin in Enjelas, but our friend thought is was from another Hamadan province village.

One of our more moderately priced antique rugs from our Quadrifoglio Rugs Collection, it has a nice decorative quality to it, with a soft salmon-coral field with an ivory medallion and ivory corner spandrels with a navy border with coral guard borders. It has a casual elegance that exceeds the range we have priced it in.
