Only 1 in stock
At the centre lies a powerful geometric medallion, firmly anchoring the composition. It rests upon a warm red field that radiates depth and richness, allowing the design to unfold with clarity and strength. Soft aqua blue spandrels provide contrast at the corners, framing the medallion and enhancing the architectural balance of the layout.
The composition is enclosed by a substantial blue border filled with stylised geometric and floral forms. This border adds both structure and rhythm, guiding the eye around the carpet while reinforcing its bold character. Subtle accents of green, pink, and olive are woven throughout, introducing nuance and harmony to the dominant red and blue palette.
Hand-knotted in durable wool and coloured with natural dyes, the carpet displays the gentle tonal variation and maturity that only age can produce. There are areas of expert repiling, carefully and sympathetically executed to preserve both the structural integrity and aesthetic continuity of the piece.
With its impressive dimensions, this Heriz carpet is ideally suited to a large living room or formal dining space, where its scale and confident geometry can be fully appreciated. It is a carpet of substance and authority, offering timeless Persian craftsmanship and enduring decorative power.
