Arak Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Arak Persian rug, measuring 7'9" x 3'6", presents a stunning interpretation of the beloved Herati pattern in a refined red, cream, and navy blue palette. The traditional Mahi motifs dance across the field with remarkable precision, each diamond-shaped medallion filled with intricate fish and rosette designs that speak to four decades of masterful Persian craftsmanship.
The historic city of Arak in Markazi Province has been synonymous with exceptional rug weaving since the late 19th century, when master weavers established workshops that would become legendary throughout Persia. This particular piece embodies the classical Arak tradition of combining robust construction with sophisticated design sensibilities, utilizing the asymmetrical Persian knot technique that creates the dense, luxurious pile characteristic of this esteemed region.
The Herati pattern, known as Mahi in Persian culture, carries deep symbolic meaning representing abundance and the eternal flow of life through its repeating fish motifs surrounded by palmettes and serrated leaves. The rich burgundy red field provides a warm foundation for the cream and navy blue accents, while touches of black and ivory create depth and visual interest throughout the intricate border systems that frame this exceptional design.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize this as a truly one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that will elevate any space with its timeless elegance and authentic Persian heritage. The 7'9" x 3'6" foot dimensions make this rug perfect for hallways, galley kitchens, or as an accent piece in bedrooms and studies, where its semi antique patina and sophisticated color scheme can anchor furniture arrangements while adding warmth and character to contemporary or traditional interiors.
