| History Of Region | |
| Details: | The Persian Hamadan rug is a type of traditional handmade rug that originates from the city of Hamadan in western Persia (modern-day Iran). The history of these rugs dates back to the 16th century. Early Beginnings (16th-18th centuries) The city of Hamadan has a long history of rug weaving, with evidence of its existence dating back to the Achaemenid Empire (550-330 BCE). In the 16th century, under the rule of the Safavid dynasty, Hamadan became a major center for carpet weaving in Persia. Hamadan rugs were initially known for their simple, geometric designs, often featuring a red or burgundy color field and a blue border. Growth and Development (18th-19th centuries) By the 18th century, Hamadan rugs had begun to gain popularity, with many designs and patterns becoming more complex and intricate. The city of Hamadan became a major hub for rug traders, with merchants from all over Persia and Europe purchasing and exporting these rugs. During this period, Hamadan rugs became known for their high quality, with many being made using the finest materials, including silk, wool, and natural dyes. Golden Age (19th-20th centuries) The 19th century is often referred to as the golden age of Persian carpet weaving, with Hamadan rugs being highly sought after by royal families and nobility. This period saw the introduction of new techniques, such as the use of the "Hamadan knot," which became a hallmark of these rugs. The designs and patterns of Hamadan rugs also became more intricate, often featuring floral motifs, animals, and other natural elements. Modern Era (20th century-present) Following the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Iranian government nationalized the carpet industry, leading to a significant increase in the production of handmade carpets, including Hamadan rugs. Today, Hamadan rugs are still made using traditional techniques, with many artisans continuing to pass down their skills from generation to generation. Despite the rise of machine-made carpets, handmade Hamadan rugs remain highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts due to their rarity, quality, and historical significance. Key Characteristics Geometric designs, often featuring a central medallion and radiating patterns Use of high-quality materials, including silk, wool, and natural dyes Intricate knotting and weaving techniques Often feature a red or burgundy color field and blue border Symbolic motifs, such as flowers, animals, and natural elements Hamadan rugs are considered some of the most exquisite examples of traditional Persian carpet weaving, with a rich history and cultural significance that continues to captivate audiences around the world. |
