About the Item
79437 Vintage Persian Heriz Rug, 07'07 x 11'00. This hand knotted wool vintage Persian Heriz rug commands attention with an authority that feels architectural, timeless, and deeply cultivated. Anchored by a commanding, stepped central medallion, the composition unfolds with a sense of ceremonial grandeur. The medallion’s bold geometry radiates outward across a richly saturated field, creating a visual rhythm that feels both grounded and regal—an unmistakable hallmark of the great Heriz weaving tradition.
The field is densely articulated with angular floral forms, serrated leaves, and abstract botanical devices rendered in powerful earth tones—brick red, indigo, slate blue, and warm umber. These iconic motifs interlock with a deliberate cadence, forming a complex yet legible structure that rewards close study. Every line feels purposeful, echoing the mountainous landscapes of northwest Persia from which Heriz rugs draw their enduring strength and character.
Encasing the exceptional composition is a robust, multi-layered border adorned with rosettes, stylized blossoms, and geometric blossoms set against a deep, contrasting ground. The border serves as a stately frame, reinforcing the rug’s architectural presence while amplifying its sense of balance and permanence. Subtle abrash throughout the palette adds depth and movement, lending the surface a living, evolving quality prized by seasoned collectors.
Rare in its scale, clarity, and visual authority, this vintage Persian Heriz rug is an extraordinary masterpiece for those who collect with confidence and intention. Ideal for grand living spaces, libraries, or formal interiors, it offers more than decoration—it delivers presence, heritage, and prestige. This is an exquisite work of art that does not follow trends; it defines them, standing as a lasting testament to connoisseurship and refined power.

The Gilded Atelier: A Vintage Persian Mahal Masterpiece of Timeless Elegance
Located in Dallas, TX
75823 Rare Vintage Mahal Persian Rug, 13'00 x 18'03. Graceful and utterly captivating, this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mahal rug embodies the aesthetic harmony of the Arts and Crafts movement—where beauty, craftsmanship, and form are united in quiet sophistication. Its abrashed tan field radiates the warmth of natural dyes, while its gentle patina tells a story of enduring artistry. Woven in the heart of Persia, this extraordinary masterpiece is more than an artifact of design; it is a testament to human touch, where each precious knot becomes an echo of a bygone era’s devotion to quality and individuality.
The exclusive composition reveals a refined architectural symmetry softened by organic movement—a visual dialogue between discipline and whimsy. Swirling vines trace an elegant trellis, forming four grand oval medallions that anchor the design like the domes of an ancient palace garden. Around them, a constellation of floral motifs—blooming palmettes, curled sickle leaves, and delicate sprigs—seems to float effortlessly across the field, each rendered in earthy hues of coral, midnight blue, and faded gold. This delicate balance of structure and spontaneity captures the romantic essence of the Arts and Crafts ethos, where nature’s poetry finds order without losing soul.
Encircling this botanical reverie is a regal border that frames the composition with stately precision. The Herati-style palmette border unfolds like a rhythm of petals and vines, enclosed by chained cruciform guard bands and subtle zigzag sawtooth stripes—a nod to Persia’s architectural mastery. The design exudes noble restraint, the kind of understated grandeur that once adorned the salons of collectors and the private chambers of aesthetes. Every line, every motif, feels meticulously placed yet effortlessly graceful, as though guided by an artist’s intuition rather than rule.
This vintage Persian Mahal rug offers more than luxury—it offers legacy. It is the kind of piece that transforms a room into an experience, imbuing it with cultural gravitas and timeless charm. Whether placed beneath a grand dining table or in a refined drawing room, it elevates its surroundings with a sense of history and discernment. For the collector who values authenticity and artistry over ostentation, this exquisite work of art stands as a woven symphony of elegance—a cherished heirloom destined for a life of enduring prestige.
Rendered in variegated shades of sand, tan, ecru, champagne, rust, terra cotta, peach, charcoal, navy-slate, greenish hues, and other accent colors.
