Antique Persian Heriz Runner: 1920s Geometric Tribal Masterpiece
Bring a touch of village charm and historic durability to your hallway with this striking hand-knotted Persian Heriz runner. Dating to the 1920s, this antique piece captures the bold, geometric soul of the Heriz tradition, known for producing some of the most resilient and visually powerful rugs in Persia.
Bold Geometric "Multi-Tiered" Design
This runner features a unique single-column arrangement of center medallions that alternate between concentric hexagonal shapes and scalloped rectangles. The main field is a dense tapestry of arrowed blossoms and geometric buds rendered in a "multi-tiered relief" that gives the design incredible depth.
The framing is just as impressive, featuring a colorful starburst border and a secondary border of serrated leaves and floral top views. The palette is a vibrant celebration of natural dyes:
Primary Tones: Madder Root Red, Sapphire Blue, and Navy Blue
Earthy Accents: Jade Green, Terracotta, and Gold
Soft Highlights: Dusty Rose
Authentic Antique Character
As a century-old tribal piece, this runner tells a story through its artisanal construction and honest aging.
Village Texture: Features an authentic "high and low" pile height, giving the wool a beautiful, lived-in texture.
Handmade Authenticity: True to its village-woven origins, one end measures 3'1" while the opposing measures 3'7". This charming variation is expected and prized in authentic hand-knotted pieces of this era and type.
Expertly Restored: Most original side cord selvages are intact or restored. This piece features localized expert restoration at one end to ensure it remains structurally sound for another century of use.
Ready for Your Home: Recently professionally cleaned, this rug is pristine and ready for immediate in-home placement.
