Antique Persian Heriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920 — Saturated with images of rejuvenation and purity, a sanguine color palette of crimson and honeyed ivory highlights the luxurious pattern of this antique Persian Heriz rug. A resplendent medallion draws the eye to a complex, kinetic design distributed with an abundance of geometric and organic elements. The layout of the spandrels and central field evokes images of the mihrab, expressing a spiritual significance. Lily motifs branching off from the central medallion amplify this essence. The main border consists of gul symbols, punctuated with stylized leaf and floral forms. A contrasting patterned trim crowns this outstanding antique Persian rug, integrating many disparate components into a congruent whole.
