Antique Persian Heriz Runner BB7006 2'7" × 12'4" $9,000

This antique Persian runner was made in Heriz circa 1930. Its main field carries a design of octagonal medallions with geometricized Herati motifs. It is embraced by a series of borders with acanthus leaves, rosettes and flowering climbers which complement the composition. The color palette features tones of orange, beige, pink, blue and dark brown.

The Heriz runner was made by hand of high-quality wool in accordance with traditional techniques. Provided minimal care, it will serve its owners for generations without the slightest signs of wear.

Thanks to their durability and geometric designs enhanced by patina and rich colors, Persian Heriz rugs and Bakshaish rugs continue to attract new generations of consumers and collectors around the world. In contrast to the majority of Persian rugs, creations from Heriz have a bit coarser texture and suppler weave which goes together well with large medallion designs. It’s all part of their raw, exotic charm.
