About the Item

This exceptional antique Heriz rug is a powerful example of early 20th-century Persian village weaving, celebrated for its robust construction, striking geometric design, and timeless appeal. Originating from the Heriz region in northwest Iran, this piece showcases the hallmarks of classic Heriz craftsmanship: bold medallion symmetry, angular floral tracery, and richly contrasting colors. The rug features an oversized central medallion rendered in rust and ivory with cobalt blue detailing, set within an open ivory-toned field. Flanked by geometric spandrels and stylized palmettes, the composition is framed by a wide border of scrolling vinery and large floral rosettes in soft reds and blues. The layout exhibits architectural strength and tribal energy while maintaining balance and elegance—qualities that make Heriz rugs both decorative and enduring. Hand-knotted with high-quality wool and natural vegetable dyes, the rug displays a gently worn surface with age-softened colors and desirable abrash. Its sturdy weave and striking presence make it ideal for anchoring large spaces with warmth, character, and a sense of heritage.
