This spectacular antique 1920s Persian Heriz rug, set against the warm glow of a sunset, is a breathtaking masterpiece—a rare and enchanting work of art with movement and design never before seen on a Heriz tribal rug that has been acquired into the BPR collection. At its heart lies a striking medallion, reminiscent of a stained glass window, surrounded by decorative botanical patterns. Whimsical ribbon-like motifs that we suspect are snake motifs flutter around the composition while lively paisleys emerge from floral stems, adding a playful touch. Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool, the rug’s phenomenal colors have aged beautifully, creating an earthy depth that invites you to explore every detail.
The border band features a unique set of motifs, with delicate florals, geometric shapes, and striking tribal patterns that provide a balanced contrast to the bold center. This intricate framing draws the eye inward, adding depth and character to the piece without detracting from the central medallion. Scattered wear adds to its charm, and its durable construction makes it well-suited for high-traffic areas. This beauty’s phenomenal color story is an immersive sensory experience, blending natural hues that feel both grounded and otherworldly.
