Antique Persian Heriz Palatial Carpet, 13'04 x 18'05
Located in Dallas, TX
78765 Oversized Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 13'04 x 18'05. Oversized antique Persian Heriz rugs are a specific category of Heriz rugs crafted in larger-than-average dimensions, offering expansive coverage for grand interior spaces. Originating from the Heris region in northwest Iran, these rugs boast the distinctive rectilinear geometric designs and meticulous motif outlining characteristic of the Heriz style. Traditionally handcrafted from high-quality wool using age-old weaving techniques, oversized antique Persian Heriz rugs were often utilized in spacious rooms such as grand living areas, formal dining rooms, and ceremonial halls, where their impressive size and intricate designs could command attention and fill the space with warmth and elegance. In this meticulously hand-knotted wool oversized antique Persian Heriz rug, timeless sophistication intertwines with enduring elegance, presenting a grandeur masterpiece that embodies the durability inherent in Heriz carpets. Crafted from high-quality wool sourced from sheep grazing on the copper-enriched pastures of Mount Sabalan, this Persian Heriz rug stands as a contemporary heirloom, echoing the robustness of 19th-century examples often auctioned by prestigious houses in the United States and Europe. Within the expanse of this large room-sized Heriz rug, perpetually posh aesthetics blend seamlessly with preppy Ivy League formality, creating a captivating visual symphony. At the heart of the design lies a superimposed prominent octofoil medallion, anchored with flaming palmette pendants at either end, commanding attention on an abrashed red field. Surrounding this focal point are an array of serrated leaves, angular buds, stylized florals, curved sickle leaves, rosettes, and ambiguous tribal motifs, each element dancing harmoniously to infuse the fabric with a touch of mystique. Enhancing the rug's visual complexity are the bold earth-tone colors, characteristic of Heriz rugs, while the ivory corner spandrels elegantly mirror the intricate designs within the field, creating an esoteric juxtaposition within the overall geometric pattern. Framing the composition is a Herati border, enclosed by double inner and outer floral meander guard borders, a testament to the rug's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Reflecting both a traditional sensibility and a timeless expression of cultural pride, this antique Persian Heriz rug subtly evokes a sense of patriotism with its classic iterations of red, ivory, and navy blue. With its iconic styling and enduring elegance, this grandeur woven wonder radiates character and warmth, inviting you to immerse yourself in its storied legacy. Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, ivory, tan, navy blue, beige, cerulean, green, rose, sky blue, and verdigris with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool.
