About the Item
Early 20th Century Persian Heriz handwoven wool carpet
Size: 10'8" × 17'9" (325 × 541 cm)
This magnificent antique Northwest Persian Bakshaish-Heriz rug, dating to the late 19th century, exemplifies the bold, tribal artistry for which the Heriz region is celebrated. Woven in a commanding format of approximately 18 by 11 feet, this carpet features a striking geometric medallion composition set against a richly saturated brick-red field. The design is alive with powerful botanical motifs — including radiating palmettes, angular vines, serrated leaves, and stylized blossoms — all rendered in a dynamic interplay of ivory, deep indigo, sky blue, pistachio green, and saffron.
The pattern achieves an extraordinary balance between symmetry and spontaneity, creating a visual rhythm that feels both architectural and organic. Wide ivory borders with densely packed floral ornamentation and vine scrolls provide a strong frame and elevate the composition. Subtle abrash — the natural variation in vegetable-dyed wool — adds depth and movement throughout the piece.
Hand-knotted in coarse, high-quality wool typical of village looms, this Bakshaish rug possesses a beautifully tactile surface and earthy authenticity. Its large scale and timeless color palette make it a powerful centerpiece for grand spaces, whether traditional or contemporary in style.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
