Antique Heriz Runner 455x98cm

This impressive antique Heriz runner is a powerful statement piece from the rug-weaving villages of Northwest Iran, renowned for their bold, geometric designs and durable construction. This runner boasts a deep, saturated red field, a colour prized in Heriz carpets for its intensity and decorative flexibility.

The design features a sequence of multiple bold medallions, each filled with intricate tribal motifs. The composition is strikingly framed with a cream geometric border, which adds contrast and symmetry to the design, making it perfect for enhancing long corridors, hallways, or entryways.

Crafted using handspun wool and dyed with natural pigments, this runner has soft texture and long-lasting colour, showcasing the artisan skill passed down through generations. There are small areas with signs of age-related wear, which are typical in authentic antique pieces and only add to the character. The condition is reflected fairly in the pricing, making it a great opportunity to own a piece of Persian history.
