A stunning antique Heriz runner featuring a harmonious blend of geometric and floral motifs woven in vibrant, time-softened shades. The rust-red field showcases four small square medallions, intricately adorned with flowers and leaves in a variety of colors, including the highly sought-after soft green that is particularly prized in Heriz rugs. The design is beautifully framed by an indigo-blue main border with a samovar motif—serrated leaves curling gracefully around flowerheads—complemented by two tan guard borders.
This Hariz runner is in good condition, with just one small worn spot. Both the sides and ends remain original, and the wool used is hand-spun and dyed with organic elements. The creation of this exquisite runner required approximately 1,500 hours of meticulous hand-knotting, showcasing exceptional artistry and craftsmanship.
