Heriz / 11970

A poised Heriz in wool, this antique rug measures 310 x 411 cm and presents a restrained colour palette of deep blue, soft cream and neutral tones. A pronounced geometric medallion sits at the centre of a field of angular palmettes and stepped cartouches, all encased by a navy guard border. The rug displays low, even wear with subtle abrash across the blue areas that enriches the surface without obscuring the motifs. The handworked wool retains measured contrast and a substantial tactile quality, balancing architectural geometry and gentle dye variation. Circa 1885 - 1900.
