A Grand Masterpiece: Oversized Antique Persian Heriz Carpet

For those seeking an antique textile that can effortlessly command a large room, this impressive Heriz carpet in a larger size is an extraordinary find. It strikes a rare balance in the antique rug world: it possesses the bold, architectural geometry that Heriz is famous for, yet presents it in a canvas of harmony that feels incredibly elegant and decorative rather than overwhelming. It is a piece ready to bring centuries of history and immediate sophistication to a grand interior.

A Luminous Symphony of Color and Iconography

• The Gorgeous Soft Red Field: The foundation of the carpet is a wonderfully mellowed, soft red ground. This expansive field is gracefully decorated with scrolling stems and stylized flower heads, offering a fluid, organic counterpoint to the rug’s geometric structure.

• The Imperial Central Medallion: Anchoring the entire composition is an impressive navy blue medallion, beautifully detailed with internal layers of pink and red. This deep indigo core gives the rug a powerful sense of symmetry.

• Pastel Corner Spandrels: The field is lifted at the corners by light blue and pink spandrels. This sophisticated use of softer pastel tones acts like a spotlight, adding a jewel-like luminosity to the carpet.

• The Samovar Border: The entire composition is framed by a navy blue border containing the highly coveted Samovar design. This classic motif, flanked by two rows of yellow and pink guard borders, frames the entire piece in a spectacular display of contrast.
