Heriz / 14901

This Heriz antique rug measures 224 x 282 cm and presents the bold, architectural drawing associated with the type. A central stepped medallion sits within a field of angular ornament, framed by a busy floral and geometric border that gives the composition its rhythm. Rust red, navy, ivory, gold, and teal lend depth and contrast, while the wool surface shows low distress and a softened, time-worn character. Circa 1925 - 1945, it has the grounded presence of an antique rug, with pattern and patina working together in a quietly expressive way.
