1950's Persian Heriz Carpet with Modern Traditional Style

About the Item

78968 Vintage Persian Karaja Heriz Rug, 03'09 x 04'07. This captivating hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Karaja Heriz rug encapsulates the distinctive artistry and symbolism of the Karaja village in the Heriz weaving district of northwest Iran. The Persian rug boasts a central latch-hook medallion, a signature of Karaja rugs, which is adorned with geometric motifs symbolizing protection and harmony. The latch-hook medallion, surrounded by serrated leaf motifs and angular palmettes, draws attention to the vibrant interplay of red, blue, and ivory hues, creating a striking contrast against the lush red field. The latch-hook shape is believed to represent protection, while the medallion's rosettes symbolize beauty and the continuity of life. Intricately detailed, this Persian rug showcases a rich tableau of motifs, each carrying cultural and symbolic meanings. Surrounding the medallion are stylized florals, rosettes, and serrated leaves, which evoke nature's abundance and the fertility of the land. The rosettes scattered across the field symbolize blossoming beauty, while the angular floral arrangements and stylized foliage represent the interconnectedness of life and growth. The use of geometric shapes interwoven with botanical elements is a hallmark of the Karaja weaving style, blending the rugged, mountainous terrain's influence with the region's agricultural traditions. The borders of this vintage Heriz rug are a work of art on their own, framed by a striking floral cross motif border, which is flanked by an inner and outer running water guard band. The smaller geometric elements peppered within the borders, such as the stars and lozenges, add layers of symbolic meaning, with stars often seen as a representation of happiness and spiritual enlightenment. The rug’s vivid color palette of deep reds, indigos, and pinks, balanced with ivory highlights, not only speaks to the traditional natural dyes used by the weavers but also enhances its versatility in various interior design styles. From rustic and traditional settings to more modern or eclectic spaces, this Persian Karaja Heriz rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and cultural richness of Persian craftsmanship. Each knot tells a story, connecting the past to the present, making this rug a timeless piece of history and art. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'09 x 04'07. Pile Height: 0.17 of an inch. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
