On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this is a very special piece of its provenance—one of the few that can be found in this size and scale, with particularly powerful versions of the quintessential colors Heriz rugs favor.

Here, a field of deep navy and rich burgundy forms a dramatic stage, from which a powerful, stepped central medallion emerges as a focal point.

This central motif is a kaleidoscope of geometric and floral forms, its meticulously rendered details dancing outward into a labyrinth of interlocking rosettes and stylized vines.

The elaborate, multi-layered borders echo this grand design, their intricate patterns enjoying a sophisticated palette of lighter beige, gold, and vibrant earth tones.

It’s a regal, unique piece with a fresh approach to the many classic beauties of a Heriz—exemplary of their bold, dramatic presence and their smart play of an Oriental sensibility with such a grand sense of movement.

Condition:

This antique Heriz Persian rug further enjoys an overall good condition, with a mild element of wear consistent with its age and origin. See less
