Condition/Description: This hand-knotted Persian Heriz rug is the kind of piece that defines a room the moment it is placed. At nearly full room scale, the composition is built around a commanding architectural central medallion, rendered in deep navy and ivory against a richly saturated red field. The geometry is bold, deliberate, and structured, thus giving the rug a presence that reads clearly from across the room while still holding intricate detail up close. This is exactly why Heriz rugs have long been favored in European estate interiors and collector homes—they bring order, strength, and permanence to a space. The wide navy border, filled with serrated leaves and stylized florals, creates a strong visual frame that anchors furniture layouts and adds depth. The balance between red, navy, and ivory is particularly effective. It is classic without feeling heavy, and highly adaptable across both traditional and transitional interiors. This is not a background piece. This rug is a foundation that is designed to carry the entire room. This rug was acquired from an Asian antiquities dealer. Clean and ready to be enjoyed.

Heriz rugs are Persian rugs made in the city of Heris. Such rugs are produced in the village of the same name in the slopes of Mount Sabalan. Heriz carpets are durable and hard-wearing and they can last for generations. Part of the reason for the toughness of Heriz rugs is that Mount Sabalan sits on a major deposit of copper. Traces of copper in the drinking water of sheep produces high quality wool that is far more resilient than wool from other areas. Heriz weavers often make rugs in geometric, bold patterns with a large medallion dominating the field. Such designs are traditional and often woven from memory. There are several surrounding villages that make these rugs as well. The grades of these rugs are primarily based on village name. Serapi rugs, for example, have been considered the finest grade of Heriz since the beginning of the 20th century. Heriz rugs are often of coarse construction.
