78969 Vintage Persian Heriz Rug, 09'10 x 13'02.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Heriz rug exemplifies the timeless elegance and intricate artistry for which Heriz carpets are renowned. The curvilinear design creates a graceful flow, with a prominent central medallion shaped like an acanthus octagon, dotted with a delicate rosette at its core. This medallion is anchored by trefoil pendants at either end, seamlessly blending into the surrounding motifs and setting the tone for the intricate botanical formations that dominate the field. The artistry within the medallion and the surrounding elements highlights the expert craftsmanship of Persian weavers, making this rug a piece of history and a work of art.

The rich red field of the rug is adorned with a stunning array of botanical motifs, from serrated leaves and acanthus swags to blooming palmettes, lotus blossoms, and rosettes. Stylized florals and swirling foliage intertwine to create a lush, garden-like appearance that draws the viewer in with its depth and complexity. Every inch of the field is carefully designed, allowing the Heriz rug to exude both vibrancy and harmony as each botanical motif complements the next.

Large iris flowers radiate from the ivory corner spandrels, providing a striking contrast to the central medallion and the red field. These corner elements seamlessly amalgamate into the surrounding designs, giving the Persian Heriz rug a sense of unity and continuity. The organic forms of the iris flowers and other natural elements reflect the Persian weaver’s deep connection to nature and their ability to interpret it into sophisticated artistic patterns.

Framing the composition is a classic Herati palmette border, featuring elegant palmettes that echo the interior design. This border is flanked by an inner and outer carnation meander guard border, a symbol of protection and harmony. Together, these borders create a balanced frame that highlights the lush interior field, making this vintage Persian Heriz rug a versatile addition to a variety of interior design styles, from traditional to modern. Its curvilinear design and botanical motifs offer a captivating glimpse into Persian artistry and timeless beauty.
