53245 Distressed Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 11'08 x 13'08. 

Persian Heriz rugs, hailing from northwest Iran's Heris region, are prized for their precise geometric patterns and detailed motif outlining. These rugs, crafted from premium wool sourced from Mount Sabalan's vicinity are celebrated for their durability and versatility. Antique washed Persian Heriz rugs represent a distinct category within the Heriz rug tradition, undergoing a specialized washing process to achieve a deliberately distressed or "antique" appearance, reminiscent of aged rugs passed down through generations. These rugs, crafted from high-quality wool using traditional hand-knotting techniques, feature softened colors and faded patterns, enhancing their modern charm. Characterized by a worn and aged look, muted hues, and enhanced texture, antique washed Heriz rugs exude warmth and versatility, effortlessly complementing various interior styles. With their timeless appeal and refreshed aesthetic, these rugs offer the perfect blend of heritage and durability, making them a sought-after choice for both traditional and modern spaces.

Crafted with meticulous care, this hand-knotted wool distressed antique-washed Persian Heriz rug boasts a captivating design that speaks to its rich heritage. At its heart lies a large octofoil medallion, adorned with flaming palmette pendants, floating majestically within an abrashed brick red field. Surrounding the medallion is an intricate tableau of palmettes, lanceolate leaves, rosettes, buds, and blooms, evoking an abstracted landscape brimming with vitality. Complementing this central motif are scalloped corner spandrels, echoing the design elements found within the medallion and field, enhancing the rug's overall coherence and visual appeal.

The composition is further accentuated by a Classic Herati main border, featuring samovar-shaped palmettes, gracefully interwoven with running water and barber's pole secondary borders. These borders elegantly frame the rug's design, adding depth and sophistication to its aesthetic. The color palette, characterized by warm reds, earthy hues, and delicate pastel accents, lends a soft and harmonious tone to the rug, creating a sense of warmth and tranquility. With its bold design and timeless elegance, this antique Persian Heriz rug promises to elevate any interior space it graces, adding a touch of heritage and refinement to its surroundings.

Incorporating elements of traditional craftsmanship and artistic expression, this antique Persian Heriz rug exudes a sense of timeless beauty and sophistication. Its intricate design, rich colors, and expert craftsmanship make it a standout piece that effortlessly enhances the ambiance of any room.
