#748 Blue Heriz Pattern from The Original Karastan Collection .

Each is crafted of 100% worsted wool pile yarns, woven through the back, skein-dyed and lustre washed for the closest possible reproduction of the original design. Every pattern is carefully recreated from Persian, Turkomen, Chinese, and other hand-woven originals, including prized museum pieces and antiques. Heriz is the largest and most important village near the ancient city of Tabriz in Persia. The best rugs are woven in this area.

The Blue Heriz pattern features a central medallion in vaying blue hues and four corner medallions with rust, blue, and tan tones on an ivory ground framed by a blue border with geometric motifs and single guards.
