Heriz Antique Rug - 9'7" x 14'8"
About the Item
This magnificent antique Heriz rug, measuring approximately 9.5 feet by 14.5 feet, is a remarkable example of Persian craftsmanship, woven circa 1920. A true testament to the enduring artistry of Heriz weavers, this rug boasts an intricate design, vibrant yet sophisticated colors, and exceptional durability, making it not only a stunning decorative piece but also a valuable investment. Handwoven with high-quality wool, its bold central medallion sits prominently against a deep red field, surrounded by layers of geometric and floral motifs that create a sense of movement and depth. The rug's symmetrical layout, characteristic of classic Heriz designs, reflects the influence of Persian weaving traditions, which have been revered for centuries.
The color palette of this antique Heriz is particularly striking, featuring a dominant terracotta-red field that is offset by rich navy blues, soft ivory, muted teal, and warm gold accents. These colors are not only visually captivating but have also aged beautifully over the past century, thanks to the use of natural vegetable dyes that have mellowed gracefully over time. The deep indigo and midnight blue hues found in the border provide a strong contrast to the fiery reds and earthy tones within the field, creating a sense of grandeur and elegance. The intricate vine and floral patterns that adorn the rug’s borders further enhance its sophisticated aesthetic, providing a perfect frame to the central medallion.
One of the defining characteristics of Heriz rugs is their durability, and this piece is no exception. Known for their dense and sturdy construction, Heriz rugs are woven with high-quality, lanolin-rich wool, making them incredibly resilient to wear and foot traffic. Unlike many other Persian rugs, which feature finer and more delicate weaves, Heriz rugs are distinguished by their thick pile and strong foundation, ensuring that they maintain their beauty and integrity for generations. This longevity has contributed to their reputation as some of the most sought-after and collectible Persian carpets in the world.
Finding an antique Heriz of this size, age, and condition is increasingly rare, making this rug a true collector’s piece. With antique Persian rugs continuing to appreciate in value, this piece offers not only timeless beauty but also a solid investment. Whether placed in a grand living room, a formal dining area, or a refined study, this rug serves as a captivating focal point, elevating any interior with its warmth, elegance, and historical significance. The bold yet harmonious design ensures that it complements both traditional and contemporary settings, making it a versatile addition to any sophisticated home or collection.
For collectors, designers, and enthusiasts who appreciate fine Persian textiles, this antique Heriz presents an opportunity to own a genuine piece of history. As demand for high-quality antique rugs continues to grow, well-preserved pieces like this one become even more valuable. Whether you are looking to enhance your living space with an heirloom-quality rug or seeking an investment that will stand the test of time, this stunning Heriz carpet is a truly exceptional choice.
