Room Size Geometric Design Antique Persian Heriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – Hairline details, hidden symbols and beautifully stylized botanical decorations decorate this superb antique medallion-and-corner-rug from Heriz. Midnight blue and delicate salmon pink embellishments set on a sumptuous brick-colored field show off the innumerable ornamental curves and flamboyant tendrils featured within the design. Endless knots, protective latch-hooks, divided lozenges and charming symbolic devices are carefully disguised as decorative finials and blooming flowers. Traditional floral guard bands filled with curvilinear vine scrolls flank the stately main borders, which feature an elegant series of poly-chromatic Herati Fish Design leaves, rosettes and crab motifs linked by articulate rectilinear vines. This antique Heriz rug epitomizes the style of Northwest Persia with its dramatic rectilinear designs and strong color palette that are uniquely suited for traditional Western decor.
