Stunning Antique Persian Heriz Allover Pattern Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 – The ground on this antique Persian Heriz rug is a strong steel blue with natural dye variations throughout. Across it run large octagonal palmettes with feathered ivory and tan edges closing in on a coral center. Pine green and brick leaves sit above and below them, with small ivory flowers filling the gaps.
Taking the place of every curve in this drawing, instead lies a straight line. The geometric design is indicative of the larger tradition of Heriz weaving. It is also the reason this rug reads so clearly from a distance. The rug employs a mirrored allover composition where the eye finds the center line rather than a medallion. A red brick border frames the overall design, with an angular vine throughout.
At 9 ft 4 in by 10 ft 9 in, it is a room size rug. Its nearly square shape suits open spaces or rooms where there is no need for a leading direction. The pattern can be redrawn at other dimensions as a custom rug.
