Crafted in the early 20th century, this antique Persian Heriz corridor carpet depicts an exquisite sampler of rustic symbols drawn in a charming village style.

Tribal Antique Persian Heriz Runner Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – Ancient protection symbols, radiant octofoil medallions and delicate floral motifs adorn this stunning antique Heriz Persian runner carpet. Large and small-scale symbols with lovely contrasting outlines produce a thematic story of pictorial icons. The region’s signature octofoils are juxtaposed against rustic eagle-style guls, geometric people and dramatic chimera figures. Auspicious stars, endless knots, geometric birds and secondary stepped-lozenge guls function as decorative and protective space fillers. Delicate floral borders adorned with undulating vines and geometric motifs encircle the elongated runner-style field while balancing the dark charcoal-colored ground and robust earth-tone motifs. This antique Persian Heriz rug has an elegant, distinguished presence and a timeless color palette that is in keeping with traditional trends and today’s design principles.
