About the Item
79129 Distressed Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 08'07 x 11'00. Woven over a century ago on the sacred slopes of Mount Sabalan, this hand-knotted wool antique Persian Heriz rug is not merely a furnishing—it is a storied artifact of preeminent artistry, cultural identity, and refined legacy. Crafted in the famed village of Heris, long revered for producing rugs of exceptional durability and architectural clarity, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece exemplifies a heritage of craftsmanship passed down through generations of elite tribal weavers. Its distressed surface, worn gently by time, evokes a sense of intimacy—each faded thread and softened hue whispering of noble salons, ancestral halls, and centuries of quiet prestige. To possess such a rug is not simply to decorate, but to become a steward of history itself.
At the heart of this extraordinary creation lies a majestic octofoil medallion, a powerful symbol of cosmic order and harmony, rendered in tones of aged ivory and softened crimson. Its presence is bold yet poised, radiating a timeless sense of strength and permanence. Graceful flaming palmettes unfurl from the medallion’s edge, echoing ancient Persian motifs that once adorned the halls of royalty. Every angle and curve, every delicate outline of hooked ivory, is meticulously rendered with an architectural symmetry that reflects both spiritual intention and artistic mastery. This central motif does more than anchor the design—it elevates it, serving as a symbolic tribute to endurance, resilience, and the legacy of refined taste.
Surrounding the medallion, the expansive field unfolds like a faded manuscript—its surface alive with angular botanical abstractions, stylized rosettes, and sacred vine forms. The palette—a mélange of dusk blue, oxidized copper, soft sage, and heirloom red—evokes the mineral-rich landscapes of northwestern Iran, lending the piece an earthy opulence that feels both grounding and transcendently beautiful. The interplay between form and color is deliberate and poetic, each motif laid with a hand that understood rhythm, restraint, and refinement. The delicately mirrored spandrels offer a subtle symmetry that deepens the experience, while reinforcing the idea of sacred balance that underpins classical Persian design philosophy.
Framed with an impeccably detailed turtle vine scroll border—an ancient emblem of longevity and protection—this work of art is enveloped in layers of symbolism and visual poetry. The inner and outer floral meander guard bands echo the motif of eternal life, wrapping the composition in an aura of completeness and grace. What elevates this antique Heriz beyond the realm of rare is not only its majestic scale or its unparalleled craftsmanship, but the unmistakable soul imbued in every fiber. It is a piece that cannot be replicated, made at a time when weaving was a sacred calling, not a commercial endeavor. To acquire such a rug is to invest in timelessness, to align oneself with the world of discerning collectors, curators, and connoisseurs. It is, in every sense, a precious legacy of art, poise, and cultural dignity—destined not only to be admired, but to be remembered.
