78222 Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 08'08 x 12'00. Indulge in the timeless allure of this antique Persian Heriz rug, effortlessly blending chic sophistication with grandeur style and lavish texture. As you step into the historical craftsmanship from the northwestern Iranian town of Heris, the rug unfolds as a testament to the region's enduring legacy, shaped by the copper-rich waters of Mount Sabalan.
The rug's distinctive geometric design and refined color palette evoke a classic yet modern aesthetic, seamlessly weaving threads of tradition and contemporary allure. The abrashed red field, a nod to the rugged landscapes surrounding Heriz, cradles a superimposed octofoil medallion anchored with palmette pendants, reminiscent of the architectural wonders found in the town's ancient mosques.
A captivating rectilinear pattern graces the field, featuring tulips, lotus blossoms, serrated leaves, blooming palmettes, lilies, and angular vinery. Each motif is a homage to the natural beauty that surrounds Heriz, reflecting the resilient spirit of the artisans who have perfected their craft over centuries. Ivory corners spandrels radiate with elaborate botanicals, echoing the intricate designs within the field and creating a harmonious tableau of botanical elegance.
The rug's framing is a masterpiece in itself, adorned with a classic Samovar turtle vine scroll border enclosed with an inner and outer meander guard border. These motifs, steeped in tradition, symbolize the cyclical nature of life and the enduring beauty inherent in Heriz rugs.
Iconic in its styling and modern sensibility, this antique Persian area rug exudes character and warmth, inviting you to infuse your space with a piece of living history. As you appreciate the grandeur style and lavish texture, envision the skilled hands of Heriz weavers crafting not just a rug but a timeless connection to a storied past. This rug, resonating with the echoes of Mount Sabalan and the cultural richness of Heriz, becomes a cherished centerpiece in your home's narrative.
