About the Item

Oversized Heriz Rug, Late 19th 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. Before 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. To see a navy blue background is unusual, that combined with much of the salmon shade in the corner spandrels. 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.
