Heriz Persian Antique Allover Geometric Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug, Circa 1920 – Circa 1920 BB8410 10'0" × 12'1" $38,000

This antique Persian Heriz rug, woven circa 1920 in northwest Persia, reflects the village weaving tradition for which Heriz carpets are prized: bold structure, crisp drawing, and lasting decorative authority.

A cream beige field sets a bright stage for an allover network of angular vines, stylized blossoms, and small geometric rosettes, all organized around a pronounced central medallion. The drawing is emphatically Heriz, with serrated outlines and faceted forms that give the floral ornament a strong architectural rhythm. Terracotta red, navy blue, sky blue, forest green, and soft pink animate the composition without disturbing its balance, while the repeated medallions keep the eye moving across the surface.

A deep navy border frames the design with further angular floral motifs, creating a firm visual edge and reinforcing the rug’s graphic clarity. Hand-knotted and visually dense, it brings traditional warmth, but the relatively open ground keeps the overall effect composed, making it equally at home in a tailored living room or a layered contemporary interior.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
