Boxy Heriz Rug - 7’5 x 10’8

Heriz rug handwoven during the first quarter of the 20th century. A slight variation on the classic Heriz features a geometric central medallion on a madder red ground. The design of the more boxy medallion throughout completely changes the composition giving this piece a unique feel. Soft pinks and gold work well with jewel-toned blues and greens that really sing. Framed by a main border of rosettes and serrated leaves, the border pattern breaks near the bottom edge on both sides where the weaver filled the space with various small rosettes like a patch of wildflowers. In excellent condition, with signs of wear consistent with age. Low pile with a sturdy handle.   Size: 7’5" x 10’8" [226cm x 325cm] Age: Q1 20th Century (1900-1925) Type of Rug: Heriz Material: Wool pile on cotton foundation Pile Height: Medium Condition: Excellent   BK2463   Check out our Heriz & Karaja collection!
