Vintage Persian Heriz Rug

9'8" x 12'5" | 294 cm x 379 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1950s Persian Heriz rug demonstrates how generous scale allows the strong geometric language of village weaving to achieve truly commanding presence. Hand-knotted wool showcases a large central medallion surrounded by angular extensions and bold corner spandrels that create architectural drama across the expansive field. The earthy palette with subtle teal highlights exemplifies how understated color choices can temper bold tribal geometry while enhancing its essential character.

COLORS & DETAILS

Sandy beige forms the main backdrop with warm, neutral sophistication that provides perfect contrast for the geometric patterns. Camel brown outlines the medallion and supporting motifs with rich definition, while ivory details soften the drawing and add luminous highlights throughout. Soft hints of pale teal appear as unexpected accents that lift the entire composition, creating moments of gentle surprise within the predominantly earth-toned palette.

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

Heriz village weaving reached particular sophistication during the 1950s, when master artisans had perfected the balance between bold geometric impact and refined execution. These large-scale productions required exceptional planning and skill, as weavers needed to maintain design continuity and structural integrity across substantial dimensions while preserving the authentic character of their tribal heritage.

Design Elements

The strong geometric framework establishes visual authority through the large central medallion and its angular extensions, while bold corner spandrels provide balanced architectural support around the field perimeter. Stylized rosettes and vine motifs fill the border with rhythmic patterns that reinforce balance without competing for attention with the central design. The quiet teal highlights serve as perfect counterpoints to the earth tones, adding depth and preventing the neutral palette from becoming monotonous.

Placement

The impressive 9'8" x 12'5" dimensions make this rug ideal for grand living spaces, formal dining rooms, or master bedrooms where its substantial presence can anchor major furniture groupings and define conversation areas. The versatile sandy beige and camel palette with teal accents works beautifully with both warm and cool decorating schemes.

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

Large Heriz rugs represent one of Oriental carpet weaving's most impressive achievements, where village traditions scaled up to create pieces that combine monumental presence with intimate handcraft details. Their combination of strength and understated refinement continues to anchor contemporary interiors with authentic cultural gravitas.
