61312 Distressed Antique Persian Viss Rug, 06'09 x 09'08.
This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Viss rug effortlessly marries tribal style with laid-back luxury, bringing a hint of nomadic charm into the heart of contemporary interiors. Its antique-washed soft red field exudes a sense of weathered finesse, with a central hooked hexagonal medallion that draws the eye. Anchored by hooked cross pendants at either end, the medallion adds depth and balance to the design, while the subtle distressing enhances the rug's timeless appeal, giving it the perfect blend of rugged beauty and quiet sophistication.
The corner spandrels are a treasure trove of symbolism, adorned with comb symbols, stars, rosettes, floral buds, and a distinctive cross motif. The inclusion of diamond Goz eye symbols, peacock representations (symbolizing immortality), and dog figures (representing protection) infuses this distressed Persian rug with layers of cultural meaning. The corner panels are further extended along the sides, where they form an inner frame filled with ziggurats, tree of life symbols, floral buds, and scorpions—each contributing a unique touch of meaning and mystique to the overall design.
The main border is a harmonious composition of lotus blossoms, tulips, and rosettes, offering a floral elegance that encircles the medallion and its surrounding motifs. Flanked by inner and outer carnation meander guard bands, this captivating border creates a sense of balance and continuity, gracefully framing the central design. The interplay of these elements lends this Persian masterpiece a sense of relaxed refinement, making it a great addition for those seeking an enchanting yet unassuming statement for their living spaces.
With its antique-wash finish and soft, faded tones, this Persian Viss rug speaks to the power of aged beauty. It is a perfect fusion of history, artisanal craftsmanship, and enduring appeal, offering a unique combination of tribal influences and luxurious panache. Whether placed in a traditional home or a modern setting, this woven wonder will effortlessly elevate any space, bringing warmth, character, and a touch of ancient heritage into your home.
