Antique Heriz runner, Heriz area, N.W. Persia (Iran), Ca 1900 A most original piece exemplifying the "freestyle" method of weaving where the weaver works completely from memory without cartoons. Here you have originality and absolute uniqueness as such pieces can never be repeated. The key to "freestyle" is in the borders where symmetry cannot be achieved without the use of precise cartoons. In perfect condition it also has superb colours and high quality glossy wool. 303 x 117 cms, 10' x 3'10"
