Heriz / 11798

This Heriz presents a bold medallion set into stepped cream corners, a studied interplay of field motifs and border bands that reads as handcraft and history. Woven in wool, the rug’s colour range pairs warm crimson ground notes with cream, gold and navy detailing, and light-blue highlights animate the foliate register. Low wear keeps pattern definition and a reassuring pile, while minor abrash and softly worn edges add period character. The scale is generous at 262 x 353 cm, allowing the medallion and layered guard borders to assert themselves with quiet authority. Circa 1885 - 1900. This antique rug retains a considered, tactile character.
