This Heriz runner reads as a study in measured geometry and woolen tactility, its rust-red field punctuated by a linked procession of navy and ivory octagonal medallions. Each medallion contains compact floral rosettes and stepped motifs that feel simultaneously bold and restrained. The multi-guard border system in cream and brown frames the composition with rhythmic, small-scale floral repeats. Low distress preserves clear outlines and a tactile, slightly worn pile that attests to age and use. Circa 1900 - 1915. This antique rug, measured at 3' 9" x 12' 8", carries a grounded, design-literate presence and quiet material warmth.
