Heriz 1814

This exceptional early 20th-century Persian Heriz rug has an extremely rare and highly desired ivory color background in an allover pattern.  Woven in a village of the Azerbaijan district in Northwest Persia during the first quarter of the 1900s, this near-square rug showcases an elegant allover design—a rare departure from the traditional medallion layout commonly seen in Heriz rugs.

The field is rendered in a soft, cream-toned ivory—a particularly scarce color in antique Heriz Serapi pieces—offering a luminous and sophisticated backdrop for the dynamic geometric motifs throughout. These motifs are woven in a vivid abrash palette of blue, green, pink, yellow, and red, with subtle tonal shifts that speak to the use of natural dyes and time-earned patina.
