Iran Heriz Rug 300 X 245 Cm

Iranian wool rug, cotton warp and weft, circa 1950-60. Very good condition. Interesting and unusual format.

Inspired by the Heriz Serapi, this rug is distinguished by a refined and balanced decor. Two patterns on either side of a more discreet central medallion stand out from a plain coral background (kafzadé). The main border, on a dark blue background, takes up the central pattern. This rug with its atypical decor is inspired by a family tradition. Beautiful achievement.

Located in Iranian Azerbaijan, east of Tabriz, Heriz is a city bringing together the production of neighboring villages such as Ahar, Goravan, Serapi, Bakhshayesh ... The Heriz have the reputation of being solid and very wear-resistant rugs due to excellent quality wool and knotted with the turkbaff knot. At the end of the 19th century, merchants from Tabriz had carpets woven in Heriz, bringing a more "refined" side. Despite this change, many weavers did not want to use cardboard and referred to traditional designs. At that time and until the beginning of the First World War, silk carpets were also made. They are now very rare and highly sought after.
