About the Item

Sensational Antique Rug Rare Piece with Lovely Size & Iconic Herati Pattern About: Incredible piece woven in one of my favorite rug weaving villages on the planet - it has been said that these weavers wet the wool before they weave and tie the knots to get a tighter knot because the wool being wet is thinner, are you kidding me!? so, when the rug dries every knot is so tight and so compact and that is why these specific pieces are known to be the iron rugs of the world. iconic love story pattern known as herati or the water garden, these design depicts two fish swimming around the world looking for one another. This piece has some of the richest and moodiest reds you'll ever see, along with some fantastic charcoal and earthy espressos, and chocolate. sensational greens and blues, of course, as these dyers are some of the best in the world. all-natural dyes are used to get all the color and this piece couldn't be more nomadic with organic hand-spun goat hair used as the foundation of it. note all the imperfections in the design as the pattern isn't perfect, which is what we crave and why our eyes are drawn to the flaws of objects; there is a familiarity there. as much as we call ourselves "perfectionists" and we strive for perfection, we subconsciously dislike the idea of "perfect" because it isn't real and we are wired for the raw and real! these pieces are nothing short, and then some. true art that transcends the weavers, and us because they will outlast us, hence they become family heirlooms! circling back to this piece, you will love it as the size is very rare and perfect for a large foyer, a smaller kitchenette or dining area, and of course den, living room, office, or even bedroom. very old-world piece right here! the rug itself does have some ancient old restoration in one area that has been secured and tidied up by my grandfather. it's always a joy for him to work on these pieces from his country!
