Hand-Knotted Heriz Rug, 8′ 1″x11′ 2″, Code: 1611

This stunning vintage Heriz rug commands attention with its magnificent presence and deeply saturated crimson field, which serves as a dramatic canvas for an extraordinary display of geometric artistry. The piece radiates the bold, architectural character for which the Heriz region has been celebrated for centuries, presenting a harmonious marriage of robust village craftsmanship and sophisticated design sensibility that has captivated collectors worldwide.

At the heart of this exceptional rug lies a commanding large-scale medallion rendered in rich ruby and garnet tones, its angular contours defined by the characteristic rectilinear geometry that distinguishes authentic Heriz weaving. This central motif is anchored by striking ivory serrated leaf forms at the cardinal points, creating a dynamic visual tension against the deep red ground. The field surrounding the medallion flourishes with an abundance of stylized botanical motifs, geometric lozenges, and abstract florals—each element meticulously hand-knotted to create remarkable depth and movement. The color palette is a masterclass in natural dye sophistication: dominant shades of crimson, scarlet, and wine red are beautifully punctuated by accents of cream, navy blue, warm camel, subtle coral, and touches of slate gray. The substantial border frames the composition with a series of alternating diamond medallions and geometric devices, rendered in complementary tones that echo and enhance the central design.

This vintage piece exemplifies the exceptional quality of mid-20th century Heriz production, showcasing the robust, durable construction and confident design execution that ensures these rugs become treasured heirlooms. The hand-knotted Turkish knot technique employed by Heriz weavers creates a dense, resilient pile that develops an increasingly lustrous patina with age. Its generous proportions make it ideally suited for anchoring a formal living room, dining room, or study, where it will infuse the space with warmth, character, and timeless elegance. The versatile color scheme complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the rug’s substantial presence grounds furniture arrangements with effortless sophistication. Whether placed beneath a dining table, defining a seating area, or serving as the focal point of a library, this Heriz rug brings both visual impact and enduring value to discerning homes.

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