We have offered a great number of Heriz rugs over four decades of handling them, as our clients deeply love the best pieces in this village-style for their vibrant color palette and highly graphic patterns. This particularly entrancing, subtly latticed allover design steps away from the orthography of more common iterations and is an outlier among its peers. Multifarious ‘Windows to Eternity’ adorn the center of large-scale flowerheads like jewels. In a horizontal band at the bottom, an entirely different motif emerges, popping up just above the frame in a spontaneously drawn fit of inspiration from the artist-weavers. Dynamic juxtapositions of hue are yet another masterstroke with a stunning tropical color scheme of yellow hibiscus, flamingo, lagoon blue, and seafoam enlivening the tastefully exuberant design. With heavy pile, the entire piece glows due to its exceedingly high-quality wool brought down from the nearby mountains.
