About the Item
This magnificent Heriz carpet, woven in the 1920s in Northwest Persia, showcases a striking blend of vibrant colors and traditional geometric design, hallmarks of the Heriz weaving tradition. The centerpiece of the rug is a bold navy medallion, intricately detailed and set against a deep, rust-colored field. This design is framed by a contrasting navy border, which is decorated with repeating motifs, such as angular floral elements, stylized leaves, and intricate geometric shapes. The border itself provides a striking contrast to the warm tones of the field, adding depth and balance to the composition.
The color palette of the carpet is rich and harmonious, with deep reds, blues, and rusts dominating the piece. The medallion, often a key feature of Heriz carpets, stands out against the field, creating a sense of balance and symmetry. The overall style combines boldness with traditional motifs, making it a piece that carries both visual impact and historical significance.
Heriz carpets, named after the town of Heriz in the northwest of Persia, have been woven for centuries, with their origins tracing back to the 16th century. By the early 20th century, Heriz carpets had gained widespread acclaim for their durability, bold designs, and the unique style that set them apart from other Persian carpets, such as those from Tabriz or Isfahan.
During the 1920s, the demand for Persian rugs surged in international markets, especially in Europe and the United States. Heriz carpets, with their robust construction and distinctive patterns, became especially popular during this time. Unlike the more finely knotted carpets from cities like Tabriz or Kashan, Heriz rugs were often coarser, making them suitable for heavy use, and they featured bold, geometric designs rather than delicate floral patterns. The designs were often inspired by the surrounding landscapes and Persian tribal motifs, interpreted through geometric abstraction.
The craftsmanship of Heriz carpets from this era is particularly notable for its attention to detail, despite the coarser knotting. They were usually woven from high-quality wool, with rich dyes obtained from natural sources such as madder (for red), indigo (for blue), and walnut shells (for brown).
In the 1920s, these carpets often became prized possessions in Western homes, valued not only for their beauty but also for their practical durability. The influence of Western design tastes led to the creation of larger carpets, often with more pronounced central medallions, like the one found in this particular piece.
The Heriz style remains one of the most sought-after and iconic in the world of Persian rugs, with early 20th-century pieces like this one being treasured as both functional and collectible works of art.
