About the Item
Heriz Carpet, 2nd Quarter 20th Century
Heriz rugs and carpets were woven in Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular to this day. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive rugs is now highly sought after for just these qualities. With its square-shaped proportion and use of several layers of drawing, this carpet paints an almost kaleidoscopic rendering of medallions and field. Outlined in two tones of blue, a lobed medallion floats against a madder red ground. Ivory corner pieces define the contours of the field and further the feeling of expanse emanating from the center. A dynamic border, blending repeat foliage and rosettes, enhances the unique sense of vitality conveyed by this piece.
