A vintage Persian Heriz carpet. This grand Heriz has a blue-black diamond medallion with a red octofoil sub-medallion set on a red hexagonal sub-field with an angular leaf pattern. The encompassing ivory field has a close spandrel scatter of small geometric elements. The navy main border has the characteristic Heriz version of the reversing Turtle palmette pattern. Few Heriz rugs of this period are this large and so fully elaborated.
