Magnificent Antique Persian Heriz Rug with Rare Mina-Khani Design, circa 1920's

About the Item

Magnificent antique Persian Heriz with Rare Mina-Khani design glowing pink, bakshayesh blue, camel, green About: Beyond unique in size, colors, weave, condition, and design - this piece is a showstopper. Glowing pinks surrounded by bakshaeysh ice blue, spring greens, and primitive camel hair. This is a true masterclass where the weavers of the northwest have taken a huge departure from weaving the iconic pattern from this region - they have taken on the all-over palmette & connecting vine design, called varamin or mina-khani. It is one of the oldest designs which could only mean that this piece was woven by the fingers of old souls! These women were not only talented, but the master dyers involved in getting this lanolin-rich wool to soak up this infinitely beautiful dye is what makes the quality of this piece so good. Nice floppy handle, yet with nice wool pile and body as antique heriz is known for. This is an extremely decorative piece perfect with any leather, wood, metal etc. This piece will make your space sing, trust me - you will love, love, love it. Size: 8.7 x 12.5 Age: Antique; C. 1920's Pile: Low/Medium with sensational age-related patina. This piece is in mint condition as it was restored by expert weavers with all the binding and fringe ends completely. This piece now looks untouched and perfectly original! This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).

  • Rare Collector's Willow Tree of Life Antique Persian Heriz Northwest Village Rug
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    Rare Collector's Willow tree of life antique Persian Heriz Northwest Village rug, C. 1915 Salmon & coral with ice blues and teals About: Antique Persian Heriz in an unbelievably unique design. C. 1915, of all the Northwest pieces - the Weeping Willow Tree of Life design was woven so sparingly; maybe less than 1% of all pieces that came out of the Northwest had this design. You will find this design from other villages, but unlike most symmetrical designs, these designs added a sense of artisanal flair as weaving them ""for the market"" and industry for commerce was a bit of a risk. Most people wanted the standard Medallion design, and if the weavers were weaving non-medallion designs, aka "all-over" designs, it was very seldomly a directional Forest of Life design like this one. I will write more about this piece later, but just know that this is a very, very special carpet with the rare salmon ground (usually they would weave red rugs, or even ivory or navy), and the condition of this piece is spectacular. Just some wear throughout, no holes or anything like that. Not even any re-weaving which would be ok for a piece of this age. Pastel Green with inverse Camel-colored Mountain range in the perimeter, Icy blues with French and Navy blue Tree branches and Tree trunks shifting from small dye batch to small dye batch. Bakshayesh border with jagged leaf and flower-head motif in the border gives us that structure we crave for such an artistic and emotional field design. Probably one of the greatest and counterintuitive things about village rugs is this - back in the day these pieces weren't as sought after, almost looked down upon so the designers and owners of these weaving centers and workshops didn't spend too much time looking over the weavers work - they weren't too concerned with precision and executing perfect drawings and designs - so, in turn it gave the weavers a bit of play, moments to freestyle weave, and allowed them a canvas to imagine, create, and impose their hearts and souls onto the loom...
