61324 Distressed Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, 02'03 x 20'00.
This hand-knotted wool distressed antique Persian Tabriz rug runner, extending an impressive twenty feet in length, is a rare and striking exemplar of Persian craftsmanship. Its elongated form radiates a relaxed refinement and rugged beauty, characteristics enhanced by its antique wash and nostalgic charm. The distressed composition, a deep cerulean, is subtly adorned with a barely-there allover Herati pattern, creating an effect of quiet sophistication and laid-back luxury that would anchor nearly any hallway or long space with its historical and visual appeal.
The classic Herati motif, central to the rug's design, is one of the most enduring and celebrated patterns in Persian rug-making. Consisting of a floral emblem encased within a diamond, flanked by curving, lanceolate leaves that evoke the image of fish in tranquil waters, this Herati motif is steeped in symbolism. It is said to represent the fish that gather in the moonlight, a reflection of prosperity and life, adding a layer of cultural depth and mysticism to the runner's aesthetic.
The edges of the runner feature a faintly visible russet-hued border that integrates seamlessly with the central field, enhancing the overall design without overwhelming it. This subtle framing complements the antique finish and the delicate intricacies of the Herati pattern, emphasizing the Persian runner's antique charm and the weaver's skilled artistry.
This extra-long Tabriz runner, with its combination of durability and detailed design, is not merely a decorative piece but a testament to the art of Persian rug-making. It reflects a history of careful craftsmanship tailored to the demands of elongated spaces, making it a unique and valuable addition to almost any collection or home, ideal for those looking to invest in a piece of functional art that brings both history and beauty to everyday spaces.
