{"product_id":"11164-10x13-persian-handmade-heriz-vintage-rug","title":"11164 - Persian Heriz Oversized Rug 9'10\" x 13'1\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eBold green and red spirals swirl across the midnight blue of this lovely rug. At the center, a red palmette with a cream core opens on a midnight blue field. There is no single medallion: a handsome lattice of dark brown bands, traced with fine cream curls, divides the field into large compartments. Red and green spirals, small red and cream figures and green palmettes fill the spaces between the bands. The red border carries a graceful scrolling vine with cream rosettes, midnight blue flower heads and green leaves. Narrow dark guard stripes edge it on both sides. The pile is low, and pale patches break the design in several places, most at the upper right corner and along the lower end of the field. It reads as a rich, deep presence in a dining room, with the red border warming the midnight field. At 9'10\" by 13'1\", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.\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 sits east of Tabriz, and it does the opposite of what its neighbor does. Where Tabriz draws a curve, Heriz draws a straight line. This rug keeps that straight line in its lattice, whose bands turn in sharp angles, and in the sawtooth edges of its spirals and palmettes. Down the center, red and green spirals face each other in mirrored pairs. The red border, set with flowers and a scrolling vine, closes the midnight field in a warm frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed \u0026amp; cleaned.
