An Antique Heriz carpet in wonderful original condition all over, with a dense lush wool pile. Lovely off-white in the corner spandrels with subtle pink and brick tones and a striking central blue and red medallion. Beautifully well drawn carpet with great detail.
This carpet has been woven by weavers at the top of their game in Heriz as the design is well constructed and the central medallion has been beautifully executed. The pile is very high on this piece and would be a durable addition to use in any room, working with contemporary or traditional furniture. Woven in the early part of the 20th century it has a great soft feel and more geometric than some Heriz, the style is close to that of the neighbouring Karaja village weavings. We love the rich blue border with large leaf design.

Heriz carpets have always been regarded as beautiful, tough objects of decoration, made in the north-west of Persia these handwoven works of art always have variations from one piece to another. Some draw influences from further north into the Caucasus and vivid colours like this particular carpet. A decorative yet practical carpet which has been used for over 100 years and has already stood the test of time.
