74846 Haji Khalili Distressed Antique Persian Tabriz Rug with Warm, Industrial Style 09'00 x 12'00. This hand-knotted wool Haji Khalili distressed antique Persian Tabriz rug features a large serrated hexagonal medallion anchored with pendants centered on an open abrashed tan field. The medallion and spandrels all contain a repeated small-scale Herati pattern. The classic Herati motif consists of a flower centered in a diamond accompanied by curving lanceolate leaves that resemble fish. The Herati motif is widely used in Iran and believed to represent the small fishes come up just beneath the surface of the water to swim in the full moon’s reflection. It is enclosed with a classic border flanked with an inner and outer guard band. The use of dark coffee outlining throughout the piece emphasizes its various elements and brings a sense of order to its otherwise monochromatic color palette and repetitive patterns. With its timeless design, neutral colors, and overall sense of harmony, this highly versatile antique Persian rug would ground nearly any space with its calm elegance.
