Hand-knotted in wool, 3x12 runner rug circa 1920-1930, R&K Principal Josh Nazmiyal believes this to be a European take on Persian rugs—most likely originating from Ireland. On the Design: Admirers of the craft may note an inspiration from Heriz Karaje rugs—named in particular for the small town known for this style. Its play of medallion and all over style attests, as does its play of rich and vibrant colors together. Here, rich red underscores bright blue and beige-brown towns in detailed patterns quite keeping with the regal beauty of this Persian inspiration. The curvilinear floral patterns in the central border is emboldened by a beige background, lending dimensionality between the field and the wrapping blue geometric border with its expansive, intricately woven pattern. It’s a collectible work from one of R&K Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal’s favorite provenances—that being rare works of European and Oriental confluence that makes such unique works as this. This rug is one of the most wonderful plays of Oriental sensibility and European style together, playing the two into a look that’s unique to every one of them, but arguably never more unique than in this masterpiece. Condition:This antique European Heriz runner rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor.

Persian Nain rugs are renowned for their detail and fine use of outlining along the central motifs.

In this striking piece, the precision is particularly visible along the heart of the vintage Persian rug, where the attention to detail allows each individual color to stand out as a unique part of the whole. The surrounding borders help ground the masterpiece and add horizontal intrigue to the natural elements within, which are arranged vertically to establish a cascading effect.
