Antiquarian: Heriz

It’s like the unexpected trove amongst the confused display at the Antiquarian’s.

An old rug, showing a familiar, yet almost forgotten pattern…A large central medallion, rosette shaped with a stair patterned perimeter

Palmettes in which the shape of a turtle seems to be suggested.

Boughs, leaved twigs, stalks and flowers, a Heriz, distressed by age and with its origin in Azeri Persia.
