Antique Persian Heriz Carpet with Traditional Style

About the Item

61242 Antique Persian Karaja Heriz Rug, 03'11 x 05'04. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Karaja Heriz rug is a captivating piece of artistry, steeped in rich tribal symbolism and intricate design. At its heart lies a striking scarab beetle medallion, a symbol of protection and rebirth, framed by the geometric elegance of pinwheels and lozenges. The medallion is enveloped in a sea of deep navy blue, creating a bold contrast that draws the eye towards the center, where a kaleidoscope of eight-point stars and quincunx motifs emerge, adding layers of depth and mystery to the composition. The surrounding field is a canvas of ancient symbols, each telling a story passed down through generations. The pinwheels, representing the cyclical nature of life, and the lozenges, signifying protection, dance across the rich blue backdrop, while eight-point stars, often seen as symbols of happiness and good luck, punctuate the space with their radiant geometry. Quincunx patterns, which are often interpreted as cosmic symbols representing the four cardinal points and the center, add a mystical dimension to this rug’s narrative. Framing this elaborate central design is the iconic bird-on-a-pole border, a hallmark of Karaja Heriz rugs. This border, adorned with stylized avian figures perched on abstract poles, symbolizes the connection between the earthly and the divine, serving as a protective barrier for the intricate patterns within. Flanking this main border are inner and outer geometric borders, their sharp angles and bold lines reinforcing the structural integrity of the rug while offering a modern counterpoint to the organic forms within. This rug’s timeless design makes it a versatile addition to a variety of interior styles. Whether placed in a modern, minimalist space, an American traditional setting, or a room inspired by Midcentury Modern or Ivy League aesthetics, this rug’s rich colors and intricate patterns will provide a striking focal point. Its blend of tribal symbolism and geometric precision also lends itself to Nautical Chic decor, where its deep navy hues and symbolic motifs can evoke the mysteries of the sea and the stars above. Rendered in variegated shades of navy blue, red, brown, beige, plum, taupe, cerulean, rose, tan, and coffee with other accent colors. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'11 x 05'04. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
