61319 Distressed Antique Orange Persian Viss Rug, 07'06 x 10'03.
This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Viss rug masterfully blends laid-back luxury with a modern rustic sensibility, offering a captivating glimpse into the artistic traditions of the Vist region in the Central District of Khansar County. The Persian rug’s antique-washed orange field radiates a sense of warmth, while its rich cultural and symbolic significance elevates it to an exceptional work of art. The central hooked hexagonal medallion, adorned with hooked lozenge pendants at either end, serves as the focal point, drawing the eye with its symmetrical elegance and compelling visual appeal.
The center medallion is embellished with a variety of esoteric tribal motifs, each representing deeper meanings drawn from ancient traditions. The hooked lozenges, adorned with Ram’s horn motifs, are symbolic of fertility, heroism, power, and masculinity, embodying the strength of nature and human resilience. Radiating from the soft blue corner spandrels is an intricate design of cross motifs, protective amulets, diamond Goz eye symbols, and imagery of the peacock (representing immortality) and the dog (a symbol of protection). These symbols intertwine to offer a deeper layer of meaning, encapsulating the mystical charm of tribal artistry.
The corner spandrels extend along the sides, creating a subtle inner frame filled with ziggurats, tree of life motifs, floral buds, and scorpion symbols. These intricate designs evoke a sense of continuity and harmony with nature, bringing a sacred and protective energy to the distressed Persian rug. The delicate balance of geometric patterns and symbolic motifs speaks to the mastery of the weavers, whose craftsmanship has woven history, spirituality, and nature into a single, timeless piece.
Framing this antique Persian Viss rug is an ornamental floral border composed of lotus blossoms, tulips, and rosettes, all enclosed by a double inner and outer floral meander guard band. This lush and organic border complements the rug’s design, inviting a spirit of connection and tribal enchantment into almost any space. Whether gracing the living room of a rustic chateau or enhancing a modern interior, this rugged beauty tells a story of living in harmony with nature. Its curated color palette, geometric precision, and cultural motifs bring warmth, character, and relaxed refinement, making it an ideal choice for those who value the artistry and rich history of antique textiles.
