Antique Heriz Bakshaish Rug 8'0"x12'8" A Rare Beauty
Antique Heriz or Bakshaish rug extraordinary in design and color quality. The fabulous scale of drawing centers on a navy medallion balanced between two larger than life celadon green palmettes framed by a shimmering light blue border. The infill botanical motifs are an array of pleasing pastels on a tomato red ground. Colors include pistachio green, camel, sea green, salmon, sky blue, cerulean blue, nutmeg, black coffee, and cream. All colors are derived from natural dyes.
