A highly sought-after Antique Persian Heriz Rug hand knotted in North West Iran circa 1890's . The rug features a dominant central medallion and a mix of floral and geometric flowers, fronds and palmettes within the medallion, central area and borders. Classic rich red, deep and sky blue, pink, soft green and gold colours are used to form the grand patterns in mellow natural dyes
Heriz carpets are extremely versatile when it comes to placing them in existing Interior schemes, as they have stylised floral and blossom elements that are rendered in a geometric pattern, rather than the intricate floral designs found in many Persian carpets. They are, therefore as comfortable and pleasing to the eye, in both traditional and contemporary interiors and can act as a useful visual bridge between the two.
Heriz rugs have been a very good investment over the last 20 years as the prices for antique pieces have strengthened considerably in this time.
