61387 Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 09'03 x 11'09.
This exceptional hand-knotted wool antique Persian Heriz rug captures the rich heritage of Persian artistry with an unmistakable touch of timeless sophistication. Dominating the design is a striking central medallion adorned with trefoil navy blue pendants at either end, exuding a regal presence. The medallion is intricately detailed with ivory outlines that weave through its geometric patterns, creating a luminous sense of depth. A serrated royal blue framework further enhances the medallion's prominence, imbuing it with a dynamic interplay of texture and tone.
The expansive red field surrounding the medallion showcases a myriad of rectilinear botanical motifs that dance with rhythmic precision. These angular floral patterns, rendered in rich shades of blue, pink, and ivory, bring a sense of structured vitality to the composition. Each element tells a story of nature interpreted through the weaver’s hand, connecting tradition to artistry in an elegant narrative. The amalgamation of colors and patterns across the field enhances the rug's visual dynamism, making it a captivating centerpiece.
The red and ivory corner spandrels echo the medallion's geometric motifs while introducing angular botanical formations that soften the overall design. These quarter panels, detailed with stylized vines and floral elements, create a harmonious balance between bold centrality and refined edges. The use of ivory in the spandrels provides a light, airy contrast to the intensity of the red field, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow.
Enclosing this masterpiece is a classic Herati border, an enduring hallmark of Persian rugs, featuring interlaced floral and vine motifs in a seamless flow. This primary border is flanked by inner and outer floral meander guard bands, adding layers of intricacy and refinement. The overall composition is an exquisite representation of Persian craftsmanship, blending traditional motifs with a preppy elegance that elevates any interior space. A true heirloom, this antique Heriz rug embodies a legacy of beauty and enduring style.
