Heriz 1160

This vibrant vintage Persian Heriz rug, crafted in the first quarter of the 20th century, presents a rich brick red field as the backdrop for a striking central medallion in antique ivory, framed by medallion corners in shades of red and deep blue. Accents of green, pink, yellow, and white are artfully woven throughout, adding energy and movement to the geometric composition. The corners in antique white are filled with intricate multicolor motifs, while the deep navy border grounds the overall design with ornate patterns in yellow, green, brown, and red.

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.
