Heriz / Persian · Late 19th Century
Red from Heriz
A late nineteenth-century Heriz in the district’s signature brick red — the bold, architectural drawing and copper-water wool that have made Heriz carpets famously durable.
Angular Northwest-Persian drawing in a madder-red palette — the Heriz translation of the curvilinear court medallion into geometry.
