1950's Persian Heriz Rug with Traditional Style

About the Item

74698 Vintage Persian Heriz Rug, 06'08 x 08'05. Woven in the loom of time and tradition, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Heriz rug emerges like a lyrical tableau of history and harmony. Its bold octofoil medallion—symmetrical and finely ornamented—blossoms in layers of ivory, deep red, royal blue, and midnight navy blue, each hue carefully composed like stanzas in an ancient Persian poem. Anchored with flaming palmette pendants, the central medallion draws the eye inward before releasing it outward into a sprawling field of architectural precision and visual balance. The surrounding red field is alive with symbolic storytelling, where angular palmettes, vine scrolls, and stylized rosettes drift across the surface like drifting autumn leaves. Botanical motifs—some echoing the peony for power and the tulip for prosperity—dance within the geometric framework with expressive restraint, conjuring a sense of permanence amid the ephemeral. The contrast between sharp symmetry and soft metaphor creates a visual symphony of tradition and timeworn artistry. In each of the four corners, ivory spandrels bloom with serrated motifs and crenellated tendrils, suggesting the borders of a sacred garden or the guarded threshold of a palace courtyard. Their intricate layers ripple with movement and memory, housing palmettes, serrated leaves, and symbolic shapes that whisper of watchful guardians and floral abundance. Their lighter tone offers visual respite and poetic contrast to the rich saturation of the central field. ​The use of the Samovar turtle vine scroll border, a nod to the traditional 'turtle' vine scroll pattern, adds a touch of elegance, framing the composition with a timeless allure. ​Encircling the main border are meandering rosette guard bands, echoing continuity and life’s eternal unfolding. This vintage Heriz rug does more than cover a floor; it composes a timeless verse in wool, inviting those who walk upon it to linger a moment longer in its ancient rhythm. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Persia (Iran). Measures: 06'08 x 08'05. Date: 1950's. Mid-20th Century.
