Circa 1920 Persian Heriz Runner.
A finely woven antique Persian Heriz runner dating to circa 1920. This striking long-format piece features a sequence of bold, angular geometric medallions arranged along a deep indigo field, a hallmark of Heriz village weaving. The medallions are rendered in rich tones of brick red, soft green, and ivory, creating strong visual rhythm and balance throughout the runner. The field is framed by a complementary geometric border with crisp tribal motifs, enhancing the rug’s architectural presence. The robust drawing, saturated colors, and dynamic composition exemplify the durability and distinctive aesthetic for which Heriz carpets are renowned. An excellent example of early 20th-century Persian runner weaving with strong decorative appeal.
