Commanding presence meets timeless elegance in a hand-knotted Oushak that showcases the bold geometric architecture characteristic of Heriz design tradition. A magnificent starburst medallion anchors the composition against a rich rust red field, its intricate ivory and rose geometric elements radiating outward with mathematical precision while soft blue and beige spandrels add dimensional contrast. The dramatic navy blue border frames the entire design with complementary motifs that echo the angular precision of the central medallion, creating visual cohesion while establishing clear boundaries that enhance the rug's commanding presence. Hand-knotted from premium wool by master artisans, every knot in this piece demonstrates the extraordinary skill required to execute such crisp geometric lines and sharp angles, resulting in a clarity of detail and structural integrity that mass-produced rugs cannot approach. The warm rust and ivory palette exudes traditional charm while remaining remarkably versatile, providing a sophisticated foundation that complements both classic and contemporary furnishings with equal ease. Multiple borders in varying widths create visual rhythm and depth, guiding the eye through layers of pattern that reveal new intricacies. Premium wool construction on a durable cotton foundation ensures this investment piece will withstand decades of use while maintaining its stunning appearance and plush texture.

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.
