Description
Rugs from northwestern Persia are in a class of their own. Prized for their strong geometric style, refined construction, and rich colors, heriz, serapi, and bakshaish rugs are regional cousins that share common origins. These northwestern districts were home to dozens of villages and niche communities nestled in mountainous regions and plunging valleys. Together, these distinct settlements and isolated communities formed a robust rug production network that has maintained its international reputation centuries later. The distinctive geometry of northwestern Persian antique heriz serapi and bakshaish rugs is one of the many iconic traits shared by these regional designs. The heriz district has always been distinguished by its aesthetically appealing antique rug designs. These elegant rugs, with their soft colors and rich designs, continue to attract new generations of consumers and collectors. Antique heriz rugs are prized for their elegant patina and rich colors that are often attributed to the region. Royal terracotta reds, light Persian blues, unique greens, and creamy accent colors are synonymous with the region's unmistakable coloring. The technique of abrash, or intentional variation within a color tone, is masterfully used in the finest antique heriz rugs. These colors, especially blue and green, are a testament to the rarity of the dyes used, which (the pigmentation) are entirely plant-based. This dates the rug to before 1910. Chemical dyes were introduced only after this period. Dimensions: 377x288 cm. Condition: General wear throughout the rug, including a more worn line visible in the photos. Shaggy wool, but still a very sturdy rug. Secured selvedges on both sides of the rug.
