Arak Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Arak Persian rug, measuring 11'2" x 3'7", showcases the timeless beauty of traditional Persian craftsmanship with its stunning navy blue field adorned with the classic Herati pattern in cream, madder red, ivory, crimson, and beige accents. Dating from 40-60 years ago, this remarkable piece carries the authentic patina and character that only comes with age, displaying the masterful artistry of weavers from the Markazi province who have perfected their craft over generations.
The historic city of Arak, located in central Persia's Markazi province, has been renowned for producing some of the finest Persian rugs since the late 19th century, with local artisans drawing inspiration from both classical Persian designs and regional motifs. This particular rug exemplifies the Arak tradition of combining sophisticated color palettes with intricate geometric patterns, creating pieces that are both visually striking and culturally significant. The asymmetrical Persian knots used in its construction demonstrate the meticulous attention to detail that Arak weavers are celebrated for worldwide.
The Herati pattern, also known as the Mahi or fish design, features diamond-shaped medallions surrounded by curved leaves and rosettes, symbolizing abundance and protection in Persian culture. The deep navy blue background represents wisdom and stability, while the cream and ivory elements signify purity and light, and the rich madder red and crimson accents symbolize joy and vitality. This harmonious color combination creates a sophisticated palette that speaks to centuries of Persian artistic tradition.
Perfect as a hallway runner or accent piece, this 11'2" x 3'7" rug brings authentic Persian elegance to narrow spaces, entryways, or galley kitchens where its elongated proportions can truly shine. The semi antique character adds warmth and history to any interior, while the rich navy blue foundation provides a versatile backdrop that complements both traditional and contemporary décor styles. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional piece, which represents the enduring legacy of Persian rug weaving.
Handcrafted from 100% natural wool with cotton foundations and finished with traditional fringes, this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space with its authentic Persian heritage and sophisticated design vocabulary. The natural aging process has enhanced the rug's colors and texture, creating subtle variations that add depth and character impossible to replicate in modern reproductions, making this semi antique Arak a treasured addition to any discerning collector's home.
