On The Design:

Admirers of the craft will particularly appreciate the fabulous range of colors in this Heriz, both rich and bright—with a particularly crisp off-white tone in the large-scale medallions of the central field. Here, blue and beige-brown tones underscore the field, with many tribal motifs and geometric-floral patterns in chartreuse green and red tones matching the borders.

Keen eyes will further admire pictorial elements in the finer geometric patterns throughout the field—-figural geometric illustrations of birds to be specific—a collectible and personal detail found in select works of these provenances, distinguishing them even today as works of folk art with a rich history. It’s a gorgeous work of architectural sensibility and versatile size, with vast applications to designer and collector alike.

Condition:

This vintage Malayer rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
