Antique Large Heriz Persian Knotted Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of Heriz rugs showcases the region's signature geometric interpretation of classical Persian design. Woven during the late Qajar era, this piece is a striking and substantial large oversized big rug, designed to anchor a grand salon or formal dining space. The central medallion is rendered in deep indigo and midnight blue, providing a powerful contrast to the vibrant, saturated field. While the overall aesthetic is bold and architectural, closer inspection reveals intricate detailing within the spandrels and corners, utilizing highly stylized floral rugs motifs typical of the area's weaving tradition. The primary field color is a rich red, beautifully complemented by secondary highlights in cream, sky blue, and touches of ochre.
