Lot: 196
Heriz: The early date of this rare, small-format Heriz can
be determined from the archaic style of its design. It is a reference piece
proving the long-standing tradition of carpet production in the Heriz
region, and disproves occasional previous claims that carpets were only
woven there as of the late 19th century. The most striking feature is the
border containing huge inscription cartouches, whose massive Persian
characters appear as if painted with a wide brush. – The original finishes
are missing all around, damaged corners. Low pile, corroded brown.
Origin: North West Persia, Azerbaijan
Size: 189 x 138 cm
Age: First
half 19th century
Estimate: 9.500,00 €
