A luminous and expressive antique Persian Heriz rug showcasing a powerful interplay of architectural symmetry and tribal whimsy. The saturated blush-pink field is anchored by a pale central medallion and densely populated with angular floral motifs, all framed by a dramatic border of stylized “elephant” and bird-like totems in celadon, cocoa, and coral. The balance of precision and play in this piece captures the soul of 20th-century Northwest Persian village weaving—at once ceremonial and deeply personal.
