This vintage Persian Heriz rug beautifully captures the timeless artistry and enduring appeal of northwest Iran’s weaving tradition. Hand-knotted in pure wool on a sturdy cotton foundation, it showcases the iconic Heriz geometric medallion—bold, angular, and perfectly balanced within a richly ornamented field. The intricate interplay of tribal motifs and stylised floral patterns gives the rug its distinctive rhythm, creating a sense of symmetry and depth that is both captivating and sophisticated.
The palette is composed of deep rust red and indigo blue tones, softened by time and complemented by ivory and earthy hues. These natural dyes have matured gracefully, lending the rug a warm, lived-in patina that enhances its vintage charm. The subtle colour variations, or abrash, are characteristic of genuine handwoven rugs and reflect the authenticity of traditional dyeing methods.
Renowned for their strength and durability, Heriz rugs have long been admired for their ability to withstand generations of use while retaining their beauty. This piece embodies that reputation with its resilient wool pile and balanced composition, offering both practicality and elegance.
Ideal for a range of interior styles, this vintage Heriz rug brings a refined sense of character to any setting. Its bold medallion design makes a striking focal point in contemporary spaces, while its time-softened colours harmonise effortlessly with classic or rustic interiors. More than a decorative accent, it is a piece of Persian craftsmanship that carries the spirit and artistry of its origins into the modern home.
Please note there are some small areas of wear on the rug, which has been reflected in the price. Our in-house restoration team can provide a full restoration service should you wish to have these re-piled.
