Hand-Knotted Heriz Rug, 9′ 1″x11′ 3″, Code: 1612

This stunning vintage Heriz rug commands attention with its bold geometric presence and richly saturated color palette, embodying the robust, architectural aesthetic for which the Heriz region has been celebrated for centuries. The piece radiates an authentic, lived-in character that only decades of careful use can bestow, with its colors having mellowed into a harmonious patina that speaks to its genuine vintage provenance.

The design showcases the quintessential Heriz medallion format, featuring a magnificent central diamond medallion rendered in deep crimson and navy blue, anchored by a striking geometric star motif at its heart. This commanding centerpiece is surrounded by an intricate network of angular serrated leaves, stylized palmettes, and bold geometric florals that cascade across the field in characteristic rectilinear fashion. The spandrels at each corner echo the central design with complementary angular motifs, creating perfect visual balance. The field glows in magnificent shades of rich crimson and deep burgundy, punctuated by dramatic accents of midnight navy, warm ivory, soft camel, and touches of golden ochre. The generous border framework consists of multiple guard stripes surrounding a main border adorned with classical Heriz rosettes and geometric cartouches, all rendered in complementary tones of cream, navy, and terracotta that beautifully frame the dynamic central composition.

This exceptional piece exemplifies the robust village weaving tradition of the Heriz region, where weavers have perfected the art of creating bold, geometric interpretations of classical Persian motifs. The substantial hand-knotted construction ensures remarkable durability and longevity, making this rug equally suited to high-traffic areas as it is to serving as a magnificent focal point in formal living rooms, sophisticated dining spaces, or distinguished studies. The generous proportions make it ideal for anchoring substantial furniture arrangements, while its vintage character brings instant warmth, authenticity, and collected sophistication to both traditional and contemporary interiors. The timeless color palette ensures versatility in complementing a wide range of decorating schemes, from classic to eclectic.

The pile material is 100% natural fine wool and the foundation is made of natural cotton.
