Hamadan antique rug, 3' 7" x 16' 4", with a striking elongated format and a dark ground animated by cream, beige, and muted blue ornament. The field carries a tightly layered medallion-and-vine composition, framed by a slim botanical border that keeps the design poised and architectural. Areas of wear and fading have softened the contrasts, while scattered abrash adds depth across the surface. Circa 1925 - 1940, this Hamadan has the quiet gravity and graphic clarity often sought in long-format antique rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
