A Heriz antique rug in wool, 145 x 193 cm, defined by a strong central medallion and repeating stepped motifs. The palette sits between deep blue and warm neutral grounds, punctuated by cream and white highlights that articulate the intricate guards and field details. Low distress and a substantial pile preserve clarity in the geometry while allowing subtle abrash to animate the surface. The piece reads as both architectural and tactile, the evidence of age adding measured character rather than loss. Circa 1905 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
