Arak Persian Rugs
This magnificent 9'6" x 6'3" Arak Persian rug presents the timeless Herati (Mahi) pattern in a spectacular array of crimson, navy blue, and cream, accented by warm camel, rich burgundy, gleaming gold, and forest green. This semi antique masterpiece, aged 40-60 years, has developed the subtle patina and character that only comes with decades of careful stewardship in Persian homes.
Originating from the Markazi province in central Persia, Arak rugs have been the crown jewels of Persian weaving since the late 19th century. The city of Arak became renowned for producing some of the finest workshop rugs in all of Persia, with master weavers creating pieces that rivaled the imperial carpets of Isfahan and Kashan. This particular rug embodies the refined aesthetic that made Arak carpets highly sought after by European nobility and American collectors throughout the early 20th century.
The intricate Herati pattern, also known as Mahi (fish) design, fills the field with an endless repeat of diamond-shaped medallions surrounded by curved leaves and stylized fish motifs. This ancient Persian pattern symbolizes abundance and prosperity, with each fish representing the flow of life and good fortune. The crimson background provides a dramatic foundation for the navy blue outlines and cream highlights that define each motif with crystalline clarity.
The sophisticated color palette speaks to the Persian master dyer's art, with deep crimson creating warmth and passion while navy blue adds stability and depth. Golden accents catch the light like precious metal threads, while forest green and burgundy provide rich undertones that shift subtly throughout the day. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure transforms any interior space into a gallery of Persian artistry.
At 9'6" x 6'3", this Arak rug is perfectly proportioned for dining rooms, studies, or bedroom arrangements where its semi antique character can be fully appreciated. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional piece as a testament to Persian weaving mastery, where asymmetrical knots create the dense, luxurious pile that has made Arak carpets legendary among collectors worldwide.
