About the Item

Knots Rugs Mexican Skulls Rug – A Hand-Knotted Silk & Wool Masterpiece, 17th Century Modern Collection The Mexican Skulls Rug by Knots Rugs is a one-of-a-kind fusion of cultural heritage and contemporary artistry, inspired by 19th-century Heriz carpets and the Mexican Sugar Skull tradition. This hand-knotted silk and wool masterpiece reimagines the intricate motifs of Persian Heriz rugs, known for their arabesques and animal figures, with a modernized overlay of delicate Mexican skull patterns—a nod to the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) tradition. Heriz carpets are revered for their ability to tell stories through woven memory, making them some of the most cherished and enduring textiles in the world. Knots Rugs has taken this rich storytelling tradition and blended it with the floral swirls and ornamental designs found in Mexican skull artistry, creating a truly avant-garde interpretation of historical craftsmanship. This rug features a unique oxidization technique, where the wool beneath the silk is selectively aged, enhancing texture and depth while creating an extraordinary 3D relief effect. The interplay of warm earth tones, deep reds, soft neutrals, and intricate floral accents adds a sense of antiquity with a modern sensibility, making it a museum-worthy statement piece. A testament to cross-cultural artistry, the Mexican Skulls Rug bridges the elegance of Heriz Persian weaving with the vivid symbolism of Mexican folk art, making it a collector’s dream and an extraordinary conversation piece for luxury interiors, contemporary spaces, and artistic collections. Key Details: Hand-knotted silk & wool – Unparalleled craftsmanship and durability Inspired by 19th-century Heriz carpets – Features arabesques and animal motifs Mexican Sugar Skull influences – Delicate floral swirls and skeletal patterns Oxidized finish – Creates a unique 3D antique patina One-of-a-kind design – Merges Persian tradition with contemporary Mexican artistry This limited-edition rug is a bold reimagination of historic weaving traditions, making it a perfect addition to high-end interiors, galleries, and curated collections.
