About the Item

Mid-19th Century N.W. Persian Silk Heriz Carpet (4'6" x 6'4" - 137 x 193 ) Antique Heriz - Silk Persian Medallion Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exquisite piece is a testament to 19th-century Persian weaving mastery. The use of silk in this Heriz medallion design elevates the traditional geometric structure, lending a remarkable sheen and unparalleled detail to the knotting, positioning it among the finest antique rugs of the period. The palette is sophisticated and balanced, characteristic of high-quality Heriz production. The central field features a luminous, soft beige ground, providing a delicate canvas for the intricate vine work and stylized palmettes. This light ground is beautifully contrasted by spandrels rendered in a rich, earthy terracotta red, utilizing the elegance of ivory beige cream tones to maximize visual depth. The central medallion is highly articulated, featuring deep indigo and light blue floral motifs that anchor the design. The complex border system, composed of multiple guard stripes, frames the composition with repeating rosettes and stylized cartouches set against a warm gold/saffron hue, ensuring the rug maintains visual cohesion and structural integrity. Given its age and the delicate nature of silk, the preservation of this piece is exceptional. Its refined scale makes it an ideal accent for smaller, intimate spaces, offering a concentrated burst of historical artistry. This rare silk Heriz is perfectly suited as a decorative element or a treasured addition to a collection of small scatter size rugs.
