All-Over Straight Leaf Heriz Rug - 8'5 x 11'2

The main border is composed of a reciprocating palmette design on deep midnight blue, surmah ground. In Very Good condition, signs of wear consistent with age. Low pile with meaty wool and a dense, sturdy handle.   Size: 8'5 x 11'2" [257cm x 340cm] Age: Q2 20th Century (1925-1950) Type of Rug: Heriz Material: Wool with a cotton foundation Pile Height: Low Condition: Very Good   BK2303   Check out our Heriz & Karaja collections!
