This 10’2” x 12’11” hand-knotted Persian Heriz area rug exemplifies the bold, geometric style that defines rugs from the Heriz region of northwest Iran. At its center lies a striking, angular medallion in deep reds and earthy tones, framed by layers of intricate motifs in ivory and accent colors. The hand-spun wool fibers produce a natural luster, giving depth to the rich palette while providing durability that has made Heriz rugs renowned for generations.
The field of the rug is filled with stylized floral and tribal-inspired elements that radiate outward from the central medallion. Symmetrical corner spandrels complement the main design, while the elaborate border frames the composition with a rhythmic series of repeating motifs. This combination of strong geometry and subtle detailing creates a balance between bold visual impact and timeless elegance.
Heriz rugs are celebrated for their thick, resilient wool and sturdy construction, making them ideal for high-traffic living spaces. This piece reflects that heritage, offering both artistic beauty and functional longevity. Its generous size and commanding design make it a statement piece capable of anchoring a large room while adding warmth and character through its craftsmanship and history.
