Vintage Persian Heriz Rug

7'8" x 11'2" | 233 cm x 340 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1950s Persian Heriz rug demonstrates the power of restraint, where a deliberately limited palette allows the strength of geometric design to take center stage. Hand-knotted wool showcases the angular medallion-and-corner layout in its purest form, creating visual impact through structure rather than color complexity. The result feels both timeless and thoroughly contemporary, speaking to the enduring appeal of authentic tribal aesthetics.

COLORS & DETAILS

Warm beige establishes a neutral foundation that feels grounding yet sophisticated, while camel brown defines the medallion outlines with earthy richness. Ivory details appear throughout the motifs and borders, providing gentle contrast that highlights the geometric precision without disrupting the overall harmony. This pared-back palette creates a sense of calm authority that works seamlessly across varied interior styles.

PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE

Our commitment to authentic representation guides every image. Studio lighting captures the rug's true essence, while showroom photographs in natural sunlight may display warmer undertones. Each piece appears exactly as it exists, without digital manipulation or enhancement.

CONDITION

This vintage piece has been professionally cleaned to preserve its distinctive character while ensuring its beauty for years to come. We recommend allowing your rug some air and sunlight for a few hours after delivery, as the organic wool benefits from breathing in its new environment before settling into place.

Heritage and Craftsmanship

The village weavers of the Heriz region developed a design vocabulary that emphasized bold geometric forms and exceptional structural integrity. Their approach to pattern and color reflected practical considerations alongside aesthetic preferences, resulting in rugs that could withstand heavy use while maintaining their visual impact across generations.

Design Elements

Stepped geometric forms and hooked motifs create strong visual rhythm across the field, where the angular medallion commands attention at the center while corner spandrels provide balanced architectural framing. The restrained tonality allows each design element to register clearly, creating compositions where bold tribal geometry achieves understated elegance. This approach demonstrates how sophisticated effects can emerge from seemingly simple design decisions.

Placement

At 7'8" x 11'2", this rug works beautifully in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms where its substantial yet manageable proportions can anchor furniture groupings without overwhelming the space. The neutral beige and camel palette provides a versatile foundation that supports both contemporary minimalist schemes and traditional furnishing arrangements.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the rug's beauty:

  • Rotate periodically for even wear

  • Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting

  • Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing

  • Professional cleaning recommended annually

  • Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity

Heriz rugs showcase one of Persian weaving's most successful balances between decorative appeal and practical durability, where village traditions created pieces that serve both aesthetic and functional needs with equal distinction. Their bold yet understated character continues to resonate in contemporary interiors seeking authentic expression.
