592. a highly irregular Heriz Persian rug

592. Provenance: Heriz, Northwest Persia

Size: 290 x 147cm

Age: Circa 1960

Condition: Excellent.

Notes: This one takes quircky to a new level. Why has it been woven truncated? This rug hasn't been cut or shortened after weaving (as can be seen by the borders), but has been woven like this. Did the weavers run out of wool? Dyes? Time? Was it a mistake? Other than the crazy design, this is a typical, solid, heavy and well-structured Heriz rug. Are you a symmetrical asymmetrical type?
