True masterpiece this hand-knotted rug that came from Heriz region. It has a combination of attractive colors and unique shapes.

Heriz rugs tend to have strong medallion designs accented through the use of color that rely on floral inspired patterns with sharp strap-work vines and grand palmettes with zig-zag contouring. Rug has glorious color, with rich reds, blues, blacks against ivory. This rug represents the legendary Middle Eastern culture beautifully. It has a rich history which makes it perfect for people who prefer historically valuable rugs
