Heriz / 11553

A long, tactile Heriz runner woven in wool, its narrow proportions (2' 10" x 17' 8") render a patient, architectural rhythm. The field reads as layered brown and grey tones punctuated by warm gold and rust palmettes; time has softened outlines into a patinated surface. Medium distress and even abrash reveal the rug's working life while lending an opened, textural presence. The borders keep a constructive geometry, framing the worn axial motifs with a quiet clarity. This antique rug holds the craft of Heriz design with restrained color and weathered character. Circa 1890 - 1930
