Antique Silk Heriz CarpetIran
c. 1880, Due to their unusually fine weave and extremely expensive materials, these Heriz region silk area rugs were also some of the most expensive rugs ever made. Only the most skilled master weavers could create such pieces, and on account of their higher costs of production and complexity these rugs were custom made for people who wanted the very best area rugs that money could buy. This specific silk Heriz carpet is based off the historical Persian vase design rugs. Most antique Persian Heriz and Serapi rugs that were woven with wool tend to be more tribal in nature, but the designs that we see in the silk Heriz rugs from Persia are very different. These types of area rugs are much finer in weave and so much attention was paid to even the smallest of detail. This is a rare and luxurious silk carpet in very good condition and ready for immediate use on the floor.
