90003 Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 07'10 x 10'10.

This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Heriz rug exudes timeless elegance with its striking central octofoil medallion, anchored by flaming palmette pendants at either end. The medallion, a hallmark of Heriz rugs, commands attention with its intricate geometric design, featuring angular palmettes, rosettes, and lotus blossoms. Each element is meticulously crafted, showcasing the weaver's skill and attention to detail.

The allover geometric pattern extends beyond the medallion, incorporating serrated and acanthus leaves, tree of life motifs, lilies, and botanical elements. These motifs not only add visual interest but also imbue the piece with deep cultural and symbolic significance. The ambiguous tribal symbols interspersed throughout the design hint at ancient traditions and stories, making this rug a conversation piece in any room.

The ivory corner spandrels offer a striking contrast to the rich red field, echoing rectilinear elements from within the field. This design choice not only frames the medallion but also enhances the rug's overall symmetry and balance. The Herati border, a classic feature in Persian rugs, is flanked by an inner and outer running water guard border, symbolizing the life-giving quality of water and the possibility for inner purification.

This antique Persian Heriz rug's versatile color palette of red, ivory, and navy blue makes it an ideal addition to various interior design styles. Whether your home is modern, American traditional, Midcentury Modern, or Ivy League style, this woven wonder seamlessly blends with nautical chic and patriotic decor themes. Its classic iterations of red, ivory, and navy blue make it a beautiful expression of American, British, or French patriotic flair, adding a touch of historical elegance and sophistication to nearly any space.
