A finely hand-knotted Persian Heriz carpet featuring a boldly rendered geometric medallion set against a rich madder-red field. The central stepped medallion displays traditional angular motifs in deep indigo, ivory, and soft blue, framed by four classic ivory spandrels filled with stylized vinework and latch-hook ornamentation. The field is populated with scattered tribal floral devices, serrated leaves, and abstracted palmettes consistent with mid-century village weaving from the Heriz district.
The carpet is enclosed by a wide indigo main border with a repeating rosette-and-leaf design, flanked by multiple guard borders exhibiting reciprocal geometric motifs. Woven on a durable cotton foundation with a robust, high-lanolin wool pile characteristic of Heriz production, known for its resilience and distinctive graphic style.
Overall, the piece exhibits strong symmetry, saturated color, and classic regional design vocabulary, representing a well-preserved example of mid-20th-century Northwest Persian weaving.
