Antique Heriz Rug | 3'4" x 6'10" | c. 1910s–1920s
Details
A collector’s piece from the storied weaving villages of Heriz, this early 20th-century rug embodies the rich artistic language of Northwest Persia. Its dynamic coral field — an uncommon and highly desirable tone in Heriz production — is punctuated by a crisply drawn medallion and angular vinery that suggest both tribal heritage and architectural precision. Rugs of this age and clarity are increasingly scarce, especially in this smaller, decorator-friendly size, making it a rare find for both seasoned collectors and design-forward curators alike.
