About the Item

Antique Large Persian Heriz Carpet, Early 20th Century Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th Century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive rugs is now highly sought after for just these qualities. Elaborate detailed drawing and an elevated use of ivory for contrast are both special features of this carpetr The linked palmette border and vegetal ornament of the field are classically drawn, in keeping with the finest pieces of this age. Particularly noteworthy is the layered quatrefoil geometry of the inner medallion that demonstrates an uncanny similarity to earlier fine embroideries of the eighteenth century from the neighboring Caucasus.
