An antique Persian Heriz rug. This unusually small Heriz packs a graphic punch with its narrow salmon field displaying a large central rosette and four enormous geometric curvy ‘fish’ leaves, all set within a wide light blue stylized turtle palmette border, ever popular in the Heriz weaving area. Almost all Heriz carpets are room size and it is rare to find such a well-conceived scatter rug with such distinctive colors.
