About the Item

Masterfully Executed Majestic Lion Garden Antique Heriz Rug with Pictorial Medallion, Country of origin: Persian Rugs, Circa date: 1920 This antique Heriz rug, woven around 1920, embodies the bold artistry of Persian tribal weaving. Its central feature—a dramatic eight-pointed medallion—radiates symmetry and strength. The saturated palette of crimson, ivory, and onyx lends a fiery visual intensity that defines many antique Heriz rugs. What makes this piece truly special is its pictorial center. It depicts a noble figure standing before a mountain horizon, adding a unique human narrative to the design. The image gives this antique Heriz rug emotional weight and a story to tell. Rather than being purely ornamental, it becomes a window into Persian symbolism and cultural pride. The wide ivory border adds calm and structure. Rosettes and leaves flow in rhythmic succession, softening the composition without diminishing its power. The combination of strong geometry and natural elements creates balance and timeless appeal. This rug suits collectors who appreciate character-rich textiles and designers looking for a bold, focal-point piece. It brings warmth, history, and a handcrafted soul to any room—traditional or modern. Curious how to style dramatic rugs like this in contemporary spaces?
