Rug No. 98439
Antique Persian Heriz rug with a glorious all-over botanical design featuring large blossom palmettes, abstract dragons, and scorpion motifs. Exemplary natural dyes give the rug a lustrous shimmering glow. Notably, the weaver has given the ground a stunning range of abrashed (variegated) reds that emulate sunrise and sunset. Such a magnificent display of artwork and color in the field leaves the border with a high bar to clear, and this masterful rendition is the perfect complement. As all-over pattern Heriz rugs go, this example is among the best we’ve seen.
