(High-Decorative) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Area-size rugs from the Heriz tradition are only occasionally encountered. This close to square piece offers all the delights of this artistic tradition with its casual ambiance, very stylized botanical elements, and a palette of sunset and twilight-sky colors. Echoing the medallion-with-pendants format of this region’s room size rugs, a diamond-shaped centerpiece is surrounded by multi-colored palmettes in the field and the main border holding a flower head and oakleaf meander. Note the depth of the blue background and its layers of shading, a technique called “abrash”, that adds a three-dimensional quality to the design. Greens, golds, and dusty rose complete the highly effective palette of this little gem that offers extremely good pile condition, expanding its possible placements to heavily trafficked areas of your home.
