Antique Persian Heriz Runner

A beautifully proportioned antique Heriz runner distinguished by a continuous row of stylized medallions floating across a rich rust-red field. The bold geometric drawing is softened by floral accents and framed by an elegant indigo border filled with intricate blossoms and vinework.
The warm palette of deep reds, midnight blues, and subtle ivory highlights reflects the enduring appeal of Northwest Persian weaving traditions. Its elongated format, balanced design, and finely aged wool create a striking visual presence well suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Handwoven at the turn of the twentieth century, this Heriz runner is a fine example of Persian craftsmanship, combining durability, artistic clarity, and timeless decorative character.
