{"product_id":"11069-3x12-persian-handmade-heriz-vintage-runner-rug","title":"11069 - Persian Heriz Runner Rug 2'7\" x 12'5\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eA column of green and cream medallions runs the full length of this lovely runner. Small geometric figures, crosses and stars cover the dusty rose field. The medallions follow a steady order of three shapes: a stepped star, a hexagon and a cross form. Handsome stepped stars in dark green and teal hold both ends and the middle of the column. Hexagons, outlined in cream, brown or green, come next to each star. In each half, a cross form with a rose center set in a brown and green surround sits between two hexagons. The main border carries a serrated geometric pattern, its ground brown at one end and green over most of the length. Narrow cream guard stripes with small geometric figures run on either side of it. The pile is low across the runner. It grounds a long passage in rose and green, and the cream outlines keep the whole line light. At 2'7\" by 12'5\", it fits a hallway or the space along the side of a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeriz carpets as the trade knows them do not predate the middle of the 19th century, when they took the place of a rustic weaving made for local use. Walter Hawley, writing on rugs in 1913, said the weavers of Heriz had for a long time held steadily to the standards of early weaving. Heriz drawing works in straight lines: big angular medallions, bold spandrels, terracotta and copper against ivory. This runner keeps to the straight line, with stepped stars, hexagons and cross forms set on one center line. The column repeats its three shapes in a set order, star, hexagon, cross form, hexagon, then star again. Its colors run softer than the type, dusty rose and green rather than terracotta and ivory, and the rose field shows between the medallions, crowded with small figures in brown, green and cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it.
