Antique Heriz Carpet

Period: Late 19th century
Origin: Heriz, Iran
Dimensions: 245×345 cm

This exceptional rug was woven in the Heriz region of northwestern Iran in the late 19th century. Heriz rugs have long been celebrated worldwide for their durability, bold designs, and timeless beauty.

At the center lies the hallmark of Heriz weaving tradition: a large geometric medallion. Strong angular lines define the medallion, surrounded by striking corner motifs and geometric ornaments. The palette of deep red, navy blue, and ivory comes from natural dyes, which have matured over time to give the rug an authentic and distinguished character.

One of the most notable qualities of Heriz rugs is their durability. Woven with thick wool yarns and a sturdy knotting technique, they are renowned for their longevity, often lasting for generations. Because of this, Heriz rugs were highly sought after in Europe and America, frequently adorning estates, mansions, and prestigious interiors.

This particular piece is both an artistic and collectible treasure, perfectly representing the Heriz school of weaving, which is considered one of the strongest expressions of Persian rug artistry.

Today, the rug is not only a decorative element but also a piece of historical and cultural heritage. With its rich harmony of colors and majestic composition, it brings elegance and grandeur to any space.
