8 x 12 Antique Heriz Carpet, Northwest Persia, Circa 1920
Navy field Heriz carpets are less common than their red field counterparts; and all-over design carpets are less common than their central medallion counterparts. So, navy field Heriz carpets with all-over design often have a real beauty to them. In this example, polychromatic palmettes, arching leaves and various flowers in a wide and beautiful range of colors combine that make a cheerful and interesting carpet. The brick red Turtle border is well drawn and frames the field nicely.
