Heriz-style rugs are known for being tough, and this hand-knotted wool piece is built in that same spirit. The rug features a classic geometric layout with a bold central medallion on red, ivory corners, and a navy border of rosettes and angular vines. Every knot is tied by hand, creating a dense, thick pile that holds crisp outlines. Small shifts in tone across the field show the hand-dyed wool, so this traditional Heriz rug is made to handle daily life for many years.
Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.
Construction: Hand-knotted from wool, selected for its resilience and its ability to hold rich color and definition across the pattern.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to keep the pile looking its best.

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.
