Old Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Heriz, 315 × 422 cm Ref 11300150
This antique handwoven rug from Heris, in a medallion-and-corner design, measures 315 × 422 cm (10'4" × 13'10") with an area of 13.3 m² (143.16 ft²). Executed with a geometric, structured approach, the central medallion with assertive, broken lines sits on a madder-red field, while four angular corners keep the composition in visual balance. Hallmark Heris geometric motifs are dispersed across the field with cohesive order. The madder-red ground conveys warmth and vitality, while the deep navy border adds poise and stillness—together creating a compelling dual character. A wool pile with a cotton warp ensures a sturdy, traditional build, and a weaving density of approximately 800 knots/dm² reflects the characteristically coarse, steadfast construction known in Heris rugs.
