A warm and vibrant antique Heriz carpet in outstanding condition with a lovely soft wool pile and woven around 1900-1910 the natural dyes are divine. Lovely soft pale blues and unusual yellow corner spandrels and central medallion along with subtle muted pink and reds and light green tones. A beautifully created carpet with great detail and abrash, this is the term for dye change which we can see with the background colour. It subtly changes from soft pinky tones to warmer reds throughout as different batches of dye were use to weave the carpet creating the character we associate with antique carpets. The size is unusual for most Heriz carpets as it is narrower than most for its length of 11'6" measuring 7'2" wide. Lovely proportions for the right room, in a study or under a dining table perhaps, Heriz always add great charm.

Heriz carpets have always been regarded as beautiful, tough objects of decoration, made in the north-west of Persia these handwoven works of art always have variations from one piece to another. Some draw influences from further north into the Caucasus and vivid colours like this particular carpet. A decorative yet practical carpet which has been used for over 100 years and stood the test of time.
