(High-Decorative)
In this quite individual, high-spirited Heriz carpet, an unusual midnight blue field is the perfect backdrop for the expansive center medallion with its exotic flame-like palmette pendants. In remarkable full pile condition at a century of age, this dramatic Persian village rug has a charismatic geometry that invites the viewer to take a second glance at its striking design and composition. An exhilarating palette of carnelian, electric blue, jade, and emerald greens are masterfully juxtaposed with peach tones, golden wheat, bronze, and ivory to great harmonious effect by weavers who were exceedingly skilled in color combination. This magnificent century-old Heriz is a veritable tour de force of color, style and condition.
