About the Item
79240 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Karaja Heriz Rug, 03'00 x 04'06. A rare jewel of tribal craftsmanship and mountainous elegance, this hand knotted wool precious antique Persian Karaja Heriz rug from the late 19th century is an ode to architectural geometry and ancestral artistry. Its regal navy blue field is the stage upon which an intricate trio of medallions is masterfully arrayed: a small, stepped ivory lozenge at the center, gracefully flanked by two bold verdigris square medallions. Each is delicately outlined in striking red, and crowned with a central eight-pointed star motif, exuding a quiet, celestial power.
Surrounding these majestic medallions is a vibrant constellation of tribal symbols—serrated leaves, Goz motifs, cross forms, quincunx arrangements, and delicate rosettes—all dancing rhythmically across the spellbinding midnight field. These captivating elements evoke the encoded language of the Heriz and Karaja weavers: motifs of vitality, guardianship, and sacred balance. With birds perched like whispers from nature’s lore and X-shaped talismans adding visual punctuation, every inch of the field reveals a legacy of storytelling rendered in wool and dye.
Framing this woven narrative is a red geometric border that pulses with energy and clarity, drawing the eye inward with refined structure. This dramatic enclosure is flanked by an ivory carnation meander guard band—symbolizing the eternal cycle of growth and continuity—and an outer royal blue carnation meander band that offers a tonal contrast of depth and serenity. Together, these layers construct a visual architecture both bold and harmonious, anchoring the composition in classic Heriz fashion while elevating it through Karaja’s unmistakable tribal elegance.
The magnificent color palette—an exquisite interplay of navy blue, verdigris, ivory, royal blue, terra cotta, and red—reflects the mineral-rich earth and luminous skies of Northwest Persia. This one-of-a-kind woven masterpiece, modest in scale yet monumental in presence, bridges function and art with effortless grace. Perfect for intimate spaces or as a sophisticated accent, this exceptional work of art serves not only as a textile but as a cultural heirloom—an enduring symbol of Persian nobility, tribal ingenuity, and handwoven luxury.
