Arak Persian Rugs
This distinguished semi-antique runner from the Arak region measures an elegant 10'6" x 3'7", making it the perfect accent piece for hallways, galleries, or alongside furniture arrangements. The rich madder red foundation creates a warm, inviting backdrop that beautifully showcases the intricate Herati (Mahi) pattern interwoven with sophisticated diamond lattice motifs. The harmonious blend of crimson, navy blue, cream, forest green, rust red, and ivory creates a captivating visual narrative that speaks to decades of careful preservation and artisanal excellence.
The historic Arak region in Markazi province has been renowned for producing some of Persia's most refined carpets since the 16th century. This particular runner represents the golden age of Arak weaving, when master craftsmen perfected the balance between geometric precision and organic flow. The asymmetrical Persian knots, tied with meticulous attention to detail, create a dense, durable pile that has gracefully aged over 40-60 years, developing the subtle patina that collectors prize.
The Herati pattern, also known as the fish motif (Mahi), tells an ancient story of abundance and protection, with each diamond-shaped medallion containing stylized fish swimming around a central rosette. The diamond lattice framework provides structural elegance while allowing the eye to travel smoothly across the runner's length. The deep madder red symbolizes prosperity and warmth, while the navy blue accents represent wisdom and stability, creating a perfect balance of energy and tranquility.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its sophisticated color palette and timeless design, transforming ordinary pathways into galleries of Persian artistry. The natural wool construction ensures both beauty and durability, while the cotton foundation provides structural integrity that will last for generations. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece as a testament to the enduring legacy of Persian carpet weaving, where each thread carries the heritage of centuries-old traditions.
