This 3’1” x 18’4” hand-knotted Heriz Persian runner exemplifies the enduring artistry of traditional rug weaving, combining both structural integrity and visual richness. Woven entirely from wool, its elongated form makes it ideally suited for hallways or galleries, where its linear geometry can guide the eye with rhythmic elegance. The mastery of the weaver is evident in the balance between bold medallions and the intricate lattice of smaller motifs, creating a dynamic yet cohesive composition that draws upon centuries of Persian textile heritage.
The rug’s distinctive palette of pinks and reds, accented with ivory and deeper tones, highlights the signature character of Heriz craftsmanship. Large, angular medallions form a central spine along the runner’s length, while geometric florals and tribal elements fill the surrounding field. Each shape is mirrored or echoed in subtle variations, demonstrating the weaver’s skill in harmonizing symmetry with organic irregularity. The intricate border frames the design like a piece of fine jewelry, using repeating motifs to ground the vibrant interior.
Handmade using the traditional hand-knotting technique, this runner is not only a decorative treasure but also a durable work of functional art. The high-quality wool lends both softness underfoot and natural resilience, ensuring that it will age gracefully with proper care. Its elongated proportions, rich hues, and geometric elegance make it a statement piece for interiors that value both authenticity and timeless style.
