Antique Heriz Silk Persian Allover Floral Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional piece from the mid-19th century represents a highly unusual departure from the typical geometric style associated with the Heriz weaving region. Crafted entirely of fine silk, its luxurious texture and precise knotting elevate it far beyond standard village productions, placing it among the most coveted antique rugs of the period. The primary field features a striking Tree of Life motif, rendered in rich sienna and rust tones, symbolizing eternal growth and connection. Flanking the central trunk are stylized columns and vases overflowing with meticulously drawn botanical elements, creating a sense of architectural symmetry rarely achieved in nomadic or semi-nomadic weaving traditions.
