Hand-Knotted Heriz Rug, 8′ 4″x10′ 8″, Code: 1615

This stunning vintage Heriz rug commands attention with its bold geometric presence and richly saturated color palette, exemplifying the robust, architectural design aesthetic that has made Heriz weavings treasured by collectors and designers for generations. The piece radiates an authentic vintage character, where time has gracefully mellowed the colors into a harmonious symphony of warm, earthy tones that speak to decades of artisanal heritage.

The composition centers on a magnificent large-scale medallion rendered in deep navy and burgundy, dramatically anchored against a vibrant crimson field. This central medallion features the characteristic angular geometry synonymous with Heriz design—bold, rectilinear forms that create a powerful visual statement. Surrounding the medallion, the field is adorned with an impressive array of stylized motifs: geometric palmettes, angular floral sprays, and traditional boteh elements, all executed in the distinctive angular style that defines Heriz craftsmanship. The corners feature substantial spandrels in luminous ivory and soft camel tones, creating striking contrast and visual balance. These corner pieces are densely populated with intricate geometric patterns that mirror the complexity of the central design. The rug is framed by multiple borders, with the main border displaying a classic Heriz pattern of interconnected geometric florals and serrated leaves rendered in complementary tones of coral, navy, slate blue, and terracotta. The color palette is exceptionally rich, featuring deep crimson reds, warm navy blues, soft powder blues, ivory, camel, salmon pink, and touches of teal—all naturally aged to perfection, creating depth and visual intrigue.

This exceptional piece showcases the robust, village-style craftsmanship characteristic of the Heriz weaving tradition, where durability meets artistic expression. The hand-knotted construction demonstrates remarkable structural integrity, with a substantial pile that has aged beautifully while maintaining excellent condition. The slightly abrash effect—subtle color variations throughout—adds authenticity and visual depth, confirming its handcrafted origins. At this generous room-size proportion, this rug serves as an ideal foundation for sophisticated living rooms, formal dining spaces, or distinguished libraries. Its substantial presence and bold geometric design complement both traditional and contemporary interiors, particularly those embracing maximalist, eclectic, or mid-century modern aesthetics. The warm, complex color palette coordinates effortlessly with wood furnishings, leather upholstery, and jewel-toned accessories, while the geometric precision provides structure to any interior composition.

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