Only 1 in stock
At its centre lies a powerful geometric medallion, anchoring the composition with clarity and strength. Stylised floral elements extend outward in balanced symmetry, creating rhythm and movement across the field. The rich red ground provides warmth and depth, while crisp cream spandrels introduce contrast, allowing the central design to stand out with architectural precision. Accents of blue bring further definition and harmony to the overall palette.
The composition is framed by an elegant Samavar border, a traditional motif inspired by the form of ceremonial tea urns. This design detail adds refinement and cultural symbolism, complementing the boldness of the central field without softening its impact.
Hand-knotted in wool, the carpet has a robust structure suited to grand interior spaces. There has been some professional repiling and one end has been carefully rewoven. Restorations have been carried out to preserve both the strength and visual integrity of the piece. These interventions ensure continued usability while respecting its age and authenticity.
With its impressive scale and commanding design, this Heriz Gharadagh carpet is ideally suited to a large living room or formal interior where it can define the space with confidence. It is a true historical textile, offering substance, craftsmanship, and enduring Persian artistry.
