Heriz: The
special feature of this antique Heriz rug is the large inscription
cartouches that surround the rug in a wide, additional outer border. This
feature suffices to prove that Heriz rugs were not exclusively made for
export, as is often stated nowadays, since the Persian inscriptions
(probably containing verses from Persian poetry) only made sense to Oriental
viewers. – Original selvedges, both ends minimally reduced. Slight signs of
wear in the pile.
Origin: North West Persia, Azerbaijan
Dimensions:
385 x 290 cm
Age: Late 19th century
Estimate: 9,500.00 €
