2 x 4 Vintage Persian Borchelou Hamadan Rug 76035

76035 Vintage Persian Borchelou Hamadan Rug, 02'04 x 03'09.

This hand knotted wool vintage Persian Borchelou Hamadan rug exudes timeless charm and expert craftsmanship, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Borchelou weaving tradition. The Hamadan rug’s vibrant red field serves as the perfect backdrop for an intricate display of geometric and floral artistry. A central medallion, adorned with elegant floral motifs and outlined with ornamental trim, anchors the composition. Its ivory spandrels, delicately decorated with complementary floral elements, provide a harmonious contrast that highlights the rug’s symmetrical balance.

The field of the rug is intricately woven with an allover Herati pattern, symbolizing abundance and good fortune. The densely packed motifs, featuring rosettes surrounded by diamond shapes and fish-like leaves, are arranged with meticulous precision, creating a rhythmic and captivating visual narrative. These motifs, rooted in Persian cultural symbolism, reflect a sense of natural beauty and timeless elegance, making this piece a true work of art.

Framing the vibrant central field is a series of borders that enhance the rug's intricate design. The primary border, a ivory-beige band adorned with meandering floral buds is flanked by inner and outer guard borders featuring rectilinear geometric patterns. This layered framing not only adds depth and dimension but also highlights the meticulous attention to detail that defines Borchelou weavings. The interplay of colors—ivory, deep blues, soft greens, and warm reds—further emphasizes the artistry and creativity of the rug's skilled weavers.

A testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the Hamadan region, this Borchelou rug is more than just a decorative piece—it’s a celebration of Persian weaving heritage. Its bold design and vibrant color palette make it a versatile addition to any interior, whether as a striking focal point in a modern setting or as a warm, nostalgic accent in a traditional space. This vintage masterpiece invites you to experience the history and artistry of Persian rug-making with every glance.
