About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool circa 1900–1920, this 6x8 antique Heriz rug is a compelling addition to Rug & Kilim’s collection. It features a geometric medallion on an ivory field, framed by a richly detailed polychrome border. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will appreciate the composition is anchored by a sophisticated axial symmetry, featuring a vertical sequence of stepped polygons and rigid geometric medallions that exemplify the formal discipline of Azerbaijan weaving. These primary motifs are punctuated by a lexicon of sub-tribal glyphs and highly abstracted botanical forms, rendered with an angularity that reflects a mastery of the symmetrical knot technique. The resulting field is a study in kinetic tension, where the density of the ornamentation is meticulously balanced against a structured, architectural layout. The chromatic depth of the piece is defined by a nuanced abrash, where the hand-carded wool has absorbed the vegetable dyes with slight variations, creating a painterly ripple through the saturated teal and terracotta registers. A time-softened patina has effectively muted the high-contrast ivory outlines, lending the piece a mature, archival character. Framed by a robust compound border of repeating geometric cartouches, the rug achieves a rare synthesis of tribal spontaneity and formal structural integrity, making it a definitive example of the aesthetic lineage. The accompanying book, Pierre Chareau: Mobilier, Biographie, Expositions by Marc Bédarida with Francis Lamond, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B057) can be acquired independently through our bookstore. Condition: This antique Heriz rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
