Old Persian Heriz Rug (275×204 cm)

Old Persian Heriz Rug. The carpets of Northern Iran, bordering present-day Azerbaijan, show many similarities in their decorative structure with the so-called "Caucasian carpets". In this Heriz carpet, with tones ranging from brown to terracotta, from ivory to midnight blue, we find the classic layout of Persian central medallion carpets. In this Heriz, although there are vegetal elements such as "serrate leaves", an important cruciform medallion is enclosed within an important rhomboid frame. The shades of the background, in antique pink and coral red, of this Heriz contrast in a clear manner with the "herati" or tortoise border on a midnight blue background and the medallion frame. The ivory counter edges offer brightness and further definition of the design. A carpet that is certainly very robust and resistant to trampling and daily use, suitable for both a classic and rustic environment and with the right furnishing accessories it can also coexist very well with the modern.
