Antique Silk Heriz from Northwest Persia, mid nineteenth century All silk antique Heriz carpets are famously unusual for utilizing designs and color schemes radically different form the customary Heriz production in wool. This sumptuously elegant example has an allover Mina Khani pattern surrounding a small central quatrefoil medallion. The border is exceptional with its repeating pattern of birds flanking trees of life. The border continues the lovely coloration of the field - celadons, greens, pale golds, and red, which comes across especially well because of the lustrous silk pile.
