About the Item

79244 Antique Persian Heriz Rug Runner, 03'02 x 14'07. Bathed in rich heritage and visual grandeur, this hand knotted wool antique Persian Heriz rug runner is a masterpiece of tribal elegance and timeless artistry. Its striking red field sets the stage for an extraordinary rhythm of alternating square and serrated lozenge medallions, each one meticulously adorned with age-old symbols. The square medallions, outlined in ivory, cradle stylized tree of life motifs—evocative of renewal, vitality, and sacred connection. Nestled between them, the lozenge medallions are crowned with Goz symbols, long revered across tribal cultures as protective emblems and tokens of inner vision. This captivating sequence unfolds like a ceremonial procession across the runner, linking past to present with every step. Dancing across the scarlet backdrop is a rich tableau of tribal iconography: serrated leaves, pinwheels, and rosettes bloom in animated harmony, while rectangles filled with Gendje-style diagonal stripes offer a rhythmic contrast. Cross motifs speak to unity and balance, while quincunx arrangements echo cosmological balance, rooting this textile in both spiritual and natural realms. The rectilinear vines and angular lines thread throughout like whispered incantations—drawing the eye along a path of visual poetry. The interplay of symbolic abstraction and geometric clarity reflects the enduring genius of Heriz village weavers who transformed daily life, memory, and myth into monumental design. Encircling the magnificent composition is a distinguished border, where eight-pointed stars and boteh motifs unfold upon a royal blue ground. These stars—celestial symbols of guidance—intermingle with botehs, emblematic of fertility and eternal flame, in a continuous dance of fortune and protection. Framing this majestic border are dual running water guard bands set on a warm tan field—archetypal Persian motifs symbolizing continuity, flow, and the eternal cycle. The carefully modulated palette of red, navy blue, terra cotta, green, maroon, dark pink, and soft ivory lends both depth and harmony, invoking the earthy richness of Persian mountain landscapes and sunset-kissed architecture. This one-of-a-kind antique Persian Heriz runner is more than a corridor adornment—it is a rare woven manuscript of cultural identity, artistry, and spirit. Its luxurious wool texture, sculpted by hand and softened by time, carries within it a history of devotion to craft and expression. Ideal for refined interiors that favor bold storytelling and heritage luxury, this precious woven wonder brings grounding warmth, architectural structure, and ornamental soul. A testament to the beauty born of function and faith, it transforms any space into a gallery of meaning and majestic tradition. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 03'02 x 14'07.
