Heriz Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Heriz Persian rug at 9'4" x 6'8" showcases the enduring artistry of Azerbaijan's master weavers, featuring a commanding medallion centerpiece surrounded by intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes in rich madder red against ivory fields. The deep navy blue corner spandrels create dramatic contrast while forest green and burgundy accents dance through the elaborate Eslimi arabesques, making this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece a stunning focal point that elevates any sophisticated interior.
From the mountainous villages of Azerbaijan, Heriz rugs have adorned Persian palaces and noble homes for centuries, with this particular example representing the golden age of weaving from 40-60 years past. The robust symmetrical Ghiordes knotting technique employed by local artisans creates the distinctive geometric precision that Heriz carpets are celebrated for, while the natural wool foundation ensures remarkable durability that improves with age.
The central Toranj medallion symbolizes the cosmic order and divine protection, its eight-pointed star radiating blessing throughout the home, while the surrounding Shah Abbasi motifs represent the imperial gardens of ancient Persia. The flowing Eslimi patterns weave stories of eternal life and renewal, each curve hand-crafted with meticulous attention to symbolic meaning and aesthetic harmony.
This captivating color palette of madder red, dark red, and rust creates layers of warmth and sophistication, beautifully complemented by ivory highlights and deep navy blue anchoring elements. The brown and burgundy undertones add richness and depth, making this rug equally stunning in traditional libraries, contemporary living rooms, or elegant dining spaces where its 9'4" x 6'8" foot dimensions provide perfect room-defining presence.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this authentic Persian treasure, complete with traditional cotton warps and hand-spun wool pile that showcase the natural variations and character marks of genuine handmade artistry. The original fringes and time-softened patina speak to decades of careful use, while the enduring beauty and investment quality make this semi antique Heriz an heirloom piece destined to grace your home for generations to come.
