Description
Large classic vintage Persian Heriz carpet from NW Persia.
Fantastic animal icons around the medallion! Quite uncommon in Heriz carpets although very common in many tribal and village rugs.
The condition is very good with minor wear here and there. Age yellowing in the cotton fringes. An extremely tough old rug ready for another century of use.
Fringes and side cords are in good overall condition. Probably benefit from a wash although not dusty or notably soiled. NO odors!
Vintage and antique Heriz carpets are a great favorite of interior designers as they match beautifully with a range of decors.
Natural wool woven onto natural cotton. Last photo with Morgan silver dollar shows the back of the rug.
The rug can be used in a high foot traffic area of the home or under a table and chairs.
Main colors are several shades of red including brick red, ivory, indigo blue, black, and olive green.
Exact size is 10 ft. by 7 ft. 1950s – 1960s.
The Heriz or Serapi medallion design is one of the most popular in the world, and originated in the northwest of Persia. This motif favors a large central medallion and a wide elegant border.
These rugs are well known for their durability and have been popular with collectors for over a century. Natural wool woven onto natural cotton in the mountains of the Heriz Province.
This is an authentic Heriz rug from Persia. These rugs are produced in the villages scattered across the slopes of Mount Sabalan, northeast of Tabriz. This carpet was woven near the city of Heriz.
