About the Item
53245 Rare Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 11'08 x 13'08. Commanding in presence and timeless in allure, this hand-knotted wool one-of-a-kind, distressed antique Persian Heriz rug reveals the splendor of 19th-century artistry with a distressed antique wash that only deepens its rarefied character. At its core, a grand octofoil medallion unfurls across the abrashed brick-red field, its flaming palmette pendants radiating with an energy reminiscent of Persian courtly grandeur. This central emblem, an exceptional masterpiece of balance and precision, anchors a composition alive with abstracted botanical motifs—palmettes, rosettes, lanceolate leaves, and delicate blossoms—each form woven as though nature itself were translated into textile poetry.
The rug’s scalloped spandrels echo the central medallion with a graceful symmetry, reinforcing the rhythm of the design while imparting a sense of architectural harmony. This is artistry not just to be admired, but to be lived with—its structural clarity and bold geometry embody the very essence of Heriz weaving, a school of exclusive design celebrated for its regal strength and unmistakable presence in the world’s most prestigious collections. Owning such a cherished piece is akin to stewarding history, where every precious knot preserves a fragment of Persian cultural legacy.
Framing this visual symphony is the Classic Herati border, resplendent with samovar-shaped palmettes entwined with running water motifs—a symbolic dance of abundance, continuity, and eternal flow. The barber’s pole guard stripes, rendered with precision, lend further refinement, guiding the eye inward while accentuating the commanding central medallion. Subtle pastel accents weave through the earthy reds and muted sages, lending softness and restraint to an otherwise powerful composition. It is this interplay of strength and delicacy that elevates the rug into a league of unparalleled distinction.
More than a decorative foundation, this Heriz is an heirloom of status—coveted by collectors, admired by connoisseurs, and destined for interiors of exceptional refinement. Whether anchoring a great hall, lending gravitas to a library, or commanding attention in a gallery-like salon, it transforms its surroundings into a stage of cultural prestige. To live with this exquisite work of art is to participate in the continuum of Persian artistry, curating an atmosphere of rarity, heritage, and enduring sophistication.
Rendered in variegated shades of brick red, rust, scarlet red, burnt orange, terra cotta, coral, cerulean, denim, sky blue, baby blue, sage, lichen, mint, olive, light pink, ballet slipper, rose, salmon, ivory, ecru, sand, and vanilla with other accent colors.
