Heriz Semi-Antique Rug - 8'3" x 11'7"

About the Item

This exquisite Heriz rug, measuring 8'3" x 11'7" and crafted circa 1950, is a remarkable example of Persian craftsmanship, embodying both elegance and durability. Woven with high-quality wool, this piece features the bold, geometric designs that define classic Heriz rugs, making it a highly sought-after addition to any collection. The design is anchored by a striking central medallion, symmetrically framed by angular motifs and stylized floral elements, giving the rug a sense of harmony and balance. The medallion is enriched with intricate detailing, and its commanding presence is softened by delicate vine work and scrolling tendrils that extend throughout the field. The color palette is rich and vibrant, featuring a deep red background that serves as the perfect canvas for accents of navy blue, ivory, soft blues, warm golds, and subtle earth tones. These colors create a striking contrast, enhancing the boldness of the design while allowing the intricate details to shine. The interplay of dark and light shades adds depth and dimension, giving the rug a dynamic and timeless appeal. The field of the rug is further adorned with stylized palmettes, leaves, and geometric motifs, all meticulously arranged to create a sense of movement and refinement. A defining characteristic of this rug is its intricate border, which frames the central composition with multiple layers of floral and vine motifs. The main border, predominantly in deep navy, is decorated with a series of rosettes, serrated leaves, and scrolling vines, all interconnected in a rhythmic pattern. This border is flanked by complementary guard borders that feature smaller, repeating motifs, adding to the rug’s layered complexity and visual appeal. Heriz rugs are renowned for their exceptional durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas while maintaining their beauty and integrity over time. The thick, heavy wool pile and sturdy cotton foundation contribute to its longevity, ensuring that this piece will remain a cherished heirloom for generations. Unlike finer Persian rugs with curvilinear designs, Heriz rugs are known for their bold, angular patterns, reflecting their tribal influences while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic. This mid-century Heriz rug is a true testament to the rich weaving traditions of northwest Persia. It effortlessly bridges the gap between classic and contemporary interiors, making it a versatile choice for a variety of spaces. Whether placed in a formal living room, dining area, study, or office, this rug offers warmth, character, and a sense of timeless artistry. Its combination of durability, striking design, and rich history makes it a valuable investment for collectors and interior designers alike. With its commanding presence, bold geometric structure, and luxurious color palette, this rug is not just a decorative piece but a work of art that tells a story of Persian heritage and craftsmanship. If you are looking for a statement rug that offers both beauty and functionality, this vintage Heriz is an exceptional choice, bringing a sense of history, culture, and sophistication into any space.
