The village weavers of the finest turn-of-the-20th century Heriz carpets combined the idiosyncratic style of tribal rugs with the elegant patterning Persian city workshops, resulting in a surprisingly contemporary design. With its wide range of mature, magically time-softened colors, including potent sapphire blue, coral and teal, this captivating large room-size carpet could easily enhance the ambiance of a full range of interiors from a sophisticated urban apartment to a country bungalow. An additional strong suit od this 120-year-old carpet is its nearly 10x14 size, generous dimensions in which antique Herizs are not often encountered.
