Antique Heriz rug

As near to being in perfect condition as an antique rug can be! A rare small and almost square antique Heriz rug of the highest order, very rare to find one in good pile, and with the best natural dyes. The larger border design is often known as the so-called “turtle” pattern, which has probably been derived from the interlacing arabesques that appeared in rugs at least as early as the beginning of the 15th Century. The rosette and attendant leaves between adjacent “turtles” show the other ancient ‘Herati’ pattern. Which has been stylised from two fish swimming around a water-lily over the centuries. This is more often seen on larger carpets from Heriz, so rare to see in a small rug.
