Persian Heriz-Style Hand-Knotted Rug

Story

High in the mountains of Northwest Iran, weavers in the village of Heriz developed a style that was tougher and more geometric than the delicate floral rugs of the cities.

Maker / Origin

While the specific weaver is unknown, the Heriz tradition is famous for 'memory weaving,' where artisans create complex patterns without a written chart or template.

Condition & Value

The fringe shows some expected wear and unevenness consistent with age. The pile appears generally even without significant 'low spots' or visible moth damage. The slight wear to the edges is typical for a vintage piece and does not significantly detract from its decorative value.
