Semi Antique Persian Heriz Rug - 11'2" x 16'10"

This impressive Semi Antique Persian Heriz Rug, with its substantial dimensions of 11'2" x 16'10", exemplifies the distinguished weaving traditions of Iran's Mahal region. Meticulously hand-crafted by master artisans and subsequently distressed and refinished in the United States, this exceptional piece represents the sophisticated textile heritage of Persia. The venerable tradition of Persian rug-making traces its origins to the Bronze Age, forming an integral component of Iranian artistic expression and cultural identity. Scholarly documentation of this craft reaches back to the 16th century Safavid era, which produced the oldest surviving examples of this esteemed art form.
