Open Field Teal Vintage Heriz Rug 51929

This vintage Heriz rug is a splendid example of Persian craftsmanship, featuring a prominent "diamond on square" medallion. The medallion is large and centrally positioned, creating a striking focal point. It boasts rich colors, including deep rust, indigo, and ivory. Extending from the top, bottom, and sides of the medallion are palmette motifs, which add complexity and elegance to the design.

The open field of the rug is a teal green tone, devoid of fill motifs. This open space allows the central medallion and border designs to stand out more prominently, creating a balanced and visually appealing composition.

The main border is intricately detailed with Herati motifs, characterized by interlocking rosettes connected by vine shapes, and serrated leaf forms. These motifs are woven in a harmonious blend of deep blues, reds, on an ivory ground. Narrow guardian borders include vine and floral motifs in indigo and deep burgundy tones.

The spandrels, or corner sections, of the rug feature a rich coloration of rust and indigo, filled with linear vine, palmette, and floral motifs. These elements add an additional layer of visual detail, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the rug.

Heriz rugs are renowned for their durability and robust construction, attributed to the high-quality wool and unique knotting techniques used by the artisans. The designs often feature large, bold motifs and a harmonious blend of colors, making them distinct from other Persian rugs. Originating from the Heriz region in northwestern Iran, these rugs are influenced by the area's cultural heritage and access to quality materials. Heriz rugs are highly valued by collectors and connoisseurs worldwide for their beauty and lasting appeal.
