About the Item

78967 Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 09'08 x 12'01. This hand-knotted wool exquisite antique Persian Heriz rug is a true representation of the timeless artistry and impeccable craftsmanship from the Heriz region of northwest Iran. At first glance, its striking octofoil medallion-centered design captivates the viewer with a harmonious blend of geometric precision and organic motifs. The central octagon medallion, with its layered starburst effect, is adorned with stylized florals and tribal emblems, symbolizing strength and protection, a signature hallmark of Persian rug symbolism. The majestic medallion is perfectly balanced against the rug's rich field, where intricate details unfold into a visual masterpiece. The precious Heriz rug's field is predominantly a rich red hue, skillfully woven with a dense array of floral elements such as serrated leaves, lotus blossoms, and palmettes. These organic forms represent life, growth, and prosperity, creating an enchanting narrative as one’s eyes move across the rug. The red, blue, and beige tones work in harmony, giving the Persian area rug its regal appearance while maintaining a versatile palette that fits both traditional and contemporary interior settings. The expert use of color shading adds depth to the motifs, creating a three-dimensional effect that enhances its overall visual impact. Each ivory corner spandrel mirrors the intricate design of the medallion, seamlessly merging into the surrounding field, while the border frames the piece with an elegant finish. The classic turtle vine scroll border, symbolic of protection and continuity, flanks the rug, guarding the delicate interior design. Additional carnation meander guard borders, filled with a combination of vines and stylized florals, complete the design by offering layers of complexity and storytelling. Antique Heriz rugs like this one are revered for their durability and timeless appeal. This woven wonder would elevate almost any space, whether it be in an American traditional, Midcentury Modern, or even a rustic-chic environment. Its bold design elements and exquisite craftsmanship make it not only a decorative statement but also a lasting piece of history and cultural significance. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear.
