Notes: Professionally cleaned by accredited ARCS (Association of Rug Care Specialists) member, Renaissance Rug Cleaning to their exacting standards.
Fueled by demand from exposure to millions at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 and the Vienna World's Fair in 1873, industrious Persian entrepreneurs from Tabriz reached out to the nearby village communities in Azerbaijan and established production in villages such as Heris, Bakhshayesh, and Karajeh, mostly in large format in the lated 1800s. With its hearty construction, second only to Bijar in durability, vegetal dyes, and large geometric format, the Heris family of rugs has been hugely popular in the West ever since.
Only occasionally, are smaller sized Heris, such as this 4-7 x 6-2 found and rarely in premium condition from the 1940s with full pile and all vegetal dyes.
Thank you.
