Before you is a bold Heriz rug like this instantly grounds a room, offering both presence and balance through its strong geometry and time-tested craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 8'11" x 12", this hand knotted wool rug features a high cut pile with a durable cotton foundation. Woven in the traditional Heriz style, the composition centers around a large, stepped geometric medallion rendered in rich burnt orange tones. Surrounding it are crisp accents of navy and blue, which add depth and contrast, while softer shades of ivory, peach, mint, and aqua subtly lighten the palette. Touches of gold woven throughout the motifs give the rug a gentle warmth, preventing the bold colors from feeling heavy. The deep navy border, filled with repeating geometric and stylized floral elements, frames the central field beautifully and adds a sense of rhythm and order. The rug’s wool pile enhances the colors with a natural softness, allowing the oranges and blues to shift slightly with the light, giving the rug a comforting feel rather than a flat finish. Altogether, this traditional geometric Heriz rug balances bold design with calm harmony, making it a piece that anchors a space while quietly growing more beautiful with time.

Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs, woven in the mountainous region of northwestern Iran near Tabriz, are renowned for their bold artistry and exceptional durability. Crafted from robust local wool rich in natural lanolin, they possess a resilience that makes them ideally suited for generations of use. Their hallmark design is the striking angular medallion large, geometric, and commanding framed by stylized leaves and bold motifs that radiate across the field. Rendered in a palette of deep reds, indigos, ivory, and earthy tones, Heriz rugs convey a powerful, architectural presence. Valued for both their strength and their dramatic visual impact, they remain timeless symbols of Persian village weaving, equally admired as practical floor coverings and statement pieces in refined interiors.
