Object Description
Early 20th Century Heriz Carpet
3.25 x 2.26 m
Heriz carpets, woven in Northwest Persia belong to a class of their own. Prized for their abstract designs, fine durable construction, and creative palettes, they make ideal long-lasting rugs, incorporating the bold, graphic drawing of Caucasian tribal rugs, with the high-quality weaving of a Persian workshop piece.
This attractive early-20th Century carpet is a wonderful example of its type, featuring a warm terracotta field, overlayed with geometric motifs, in shades of ivory and with sea green accents, all in well-aged vegetable dyes, and framed by a wide denim blue border; an open, balanced composition, rather than the traditional central medallion layout.
A beautiful piece, in very good to excellent condition, to add character and charm to any space.
