Antique Persian Heriz Rug, Country of Origin: Persian, Circa 1920 — Warm ivories and sumptuous scarlets coordinate with accents of calming blue in this antique Persian Heriz rug. A lovely interplay between positive and negative space captures the eye’s interest, making excellent use of this traditional color palette. Decorating the medallion are a multitude of captivating botanical motifs, which echo themselves across the field and spandrels. Prominent throughout the design are variations on the lotus, believed to represent immortality and rebirth. Youthful blossoms gild the golden guard borders, while the main border features harmonious rounded and curving shapes set against a strong navy blue background. An elegant and ornate creation, this Persian rug portrays a mingling of joy and serenity that will enliven any room.
