Description

78182 Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 08'05 x 10'07.

Step into the realm of enduring sophistication with this meticulously hand-knotted antique Persian Heriz rug, a seamless fusion of perpetual posh and timeless elegance. Rooted in the rich heritage of the northwestern Iranian town of Heris, this rug bears witness to centuries of craftsmanship, echoing the enduring legacy of Mount Sabalan's copper-enriched waters.

The rug's sophisticated geometric design and classic color palette beckon to a modern yet elevated aesthetic, reminiscent of American traditional opulence or the refined ambiance of a luxury lodge. The abrashed red field, a testament to the rugged landscapes that have inspired Heriz weavers for generations, serves as the canvas for an artful display of craftsmanship.

At its heart lies a superimposed octofoil medallion, an architectural marvel reminiscent of the grand domes found in the mosques dotting the region. Anchored with flaming palmette pendants, the medallion exudes fiery charisma against the rich red backdrop. A dance of blooming palmettes, lilies, serrated leaves, peonies, and stylized florals and foliage unfolds across the field, creating an all-encompassing tableau of natural splendor.

Ivory and red spandrels emanate from the corners, echoing the intricate designs found within the field. The rug is framed by a standard Herati border, a nod to the town's cultural tapestry, enclosed with an inner and outer floral meander guard border. These border motifs, deeply rooted in tradition, pay homage to the cyclical nature of life and the enduring beauty of nature.

Immerse your space in the luxury of heritage with a Persian rug that transcends time and trends. As you indulge in this masterful creation, envision the skilled hands of Heriz weavers weaving tales of resilience, cultural richness, and enduring beauty into each knot. This rug, a living testament to the historical legacy of Heriz, becomes not just a piece of decor but a cherished connection to the storied past of the rug-making traditions.
