HERIZ CAMELHAIR, Northwest Persian
3' 4" x 10' 8" Circa 1910 Price: $10,000
(High-Decorative)
Camelhair is virtually never encountered in antique Heriz carpets. This very memorable example showcases this extraordinarily rare and prized attribute in an open, completely unadorned field with camelhair that is dramatically striated. The design is especially clear and spacious for the Heriz village carpet style; even the traditional leaf and calyx borders are more open than those typically found. Superb full pile condition makes this artful piece one of our most durable runners.
