61353 Distressed Vintage Persian Viss Rug, 07'06 x 11'08.

This hand-knotted wool distressed vintage Persian Viss rug effortlessly combines tribal enchantment with laid-back luxury, thanks to its soft, antique-wash finish that imbues the piece with a weathered finesse, while preserving its timeless beauty. The richly striated red field serves as a captivating backdrop, enhancing the subtle sophistication of the design. At the center, a hooked hexagonal medallion is anchored by hooked cross pendants at either end, drawing attention with its geometric precision. Inside the medallion, Ram's Horn motifs symbolize strength and fertility, surrounded by curved sickle leaves, stylized florals, and delicate foliage, all of which evoke a deep connection to nature and the cycle of life.

The field surrounding the medallion is adorned with an intricate array of Goz eye motifs, rosettes, protection amulets, and concentric lozenges, each adding another layer of meaning and visual delight. These esoteric tribal symbols come together to create a mesmerizing canvas that is rich in both symbolism and artistry. The patterns not only add visual intrigue but also serve as a spiritual safeguard, with motifs like the Goz eyes offering protection from the evil eye and the rosettes symbolizing prosperity and peace. The overall effect is a feast for the eyes, where every inch of this Persian tribal rug tells a story of ancient traditions and cultural significance.

The corner spandrels, in a serene sky blue, are further ornamented with a cross motif, flaming boteh, eight-point stars, rosettes, and more protection amulets. These designs stretch along the sides, forming an inner frame of ziggurats, tree of life motifs, and scorpion symbols. These symbols not only add visual balance but also imbue the distressed Viss rug with an aura of sacred energy, symbolizing protection, growth, and continuity. This detailed inner frame enhances the overall composition, providing depth and structure to the design, while contributing to the harmonious balance between spirituality and artistry.

Framing the vintage Persian Viss rug is a floral border composed of lotus blossoms, tulips, and rosettes, all surrounded by double inner and outer floral meander guard bands. This lush, organic border complements the tribal motifs of the rug, adding a sense of fluidity and movement that enhances its relaxed refinement. Whether displayed in a rustic home or a modern space, this woven wonder embodies a sense of nomadic charm, offering both rugged beauty and quiet sophistication. Its soft color palette, paired with its esoteric motifs, makes this vintage Persian Viss rug a nostalgic piece that resonates with those who appreciate the artistry of antique textiles and the enchanting elegance of tribal design.
