Hand-Knotted Heriz Rug, 9′ 1″x12′ 9″, Code: 1613

This stunning vintage Heriz rug commands attention with its magnificent presence and timeless elegance. The piece showcases the bold, architectural aesthetic that has made Heriz weavings treasured by collectors and connoisseurs for generations. Its generous proportions and rich patina speak to decades of careful preservation, while the characteristically robust design radiates confidence and sophistication.

The composition features the iconic Heriz geometric medallion system, with three substantial diamond-shaped medallions aligned along the central axis of the field. Each medallion is rendered in deep crimson and burgundy tones, outlined with striking ivory serrated edges that create dramatic visual contrast. The field surrounding these central motifs is densely populated with angular floral motifs, palmettes, and geometric rosettes—all hallmarks of authentic Heriz design vocabulary. Elegant ivory spandrels at the four corners create architectural framing, adorned with stylized botanical elements that balance the composition beautifully. The color palette is quintessentially Heriz: dominated by sumptuous shades of ruby red, deep burgundy, and terracotta, punctuated by ivory, charcoal, and subtle touches of camel and sage green. The border system features multiple guard stripes surrounding a main border filled with repeating rosette motifs, all rendered in harmonious tones that complement the field.

This exceptional rug exemplifies the renowned durability and artistic merit of Heriz weaving traditions. Hand-knotted by skilled artisans approximately 70 years ago, it displays the characteristically sturdy construction and bold rectilinear patterns that distinguish authentic Heriz work. The robust knotting technique ensures remarkable longevity, while the natural dyes have mellowed beautifully over time, creating a sophisticated patina that cannot be replicated in contemporary pieces. At this impressive size, the rug is ideally suited for anchoring a formal dining room, creating a distinguished foundation beneath a substantial dining table, or defining a grand living space where it can serve as the room’s aesthetic centerpiece. Its substantial dimensions and timeless design make it equally appropriate for traditional and transitional interiors, where it will bring warmth, heritage, and cultural refinement.

The Pile material is 100% natural fine wool and the foundation is made of natural cotton. The hand-spun wool possesses exceptional luster and resilience, characteristics that ensure this rug will continue to grace discerning homes for generations to come.
