Ivory corner spandrels offer contrast and delicacy, adorned with geometric motifs and branching forms in red, green, blue, and soft pink. The deep navy blue border frames the entire composition with architectural presence, enhancing the rug's structural clarity. Handwoven with a full wool pile and preserved in excellent condition. Heriz rugs, woven in the village of Heriz and surrounding towns of the Azerbaijan region in Northwest Persia, are among the most recognized and beloved antique Persian carpets in the world. Distinguished by their bold geometric medallions, their warm brick-red and ivory palettes, and the exceptional durability of their double-wefted construction, Heriz rugs have furnished the grand rooms of Europe and America since the late 19th century. The finest early examples — particularly those designated Serapi, woven in the 19th century villages north of Heriz — are among the most actively collected antique rugs in the world today.
