Vintage Persian Heriz Rug

6'6" x 8'12" | 197 cm x 274 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1930s Persian Heriz rug captures the dynamic energy that defined early village weaving at its most expressive. Hand-knotted wool showcases a bold central medallion with stepped geometric edges, creating visual drama through the striking contrast between warm brick red grounds and cool denim blue accents. The densely patterned field filled with stylized rosettes demonstrates how village artisans achieved remarkable complexity within traditional frameworks.

COLORS & DETAILS

Brick red dominates the field with warm, earthy intensity that creates immediate visual impact and emotional resonance. Ivory and camel motifs provide essential contrast and definition throughout the geometric patterns, while denim blue corners and medallion details create striking counterpoints that energize the entire composition. Touches of soft sage appear as subtle undertones, adding complexity that prevents the bold color relationships from becoming overwhelming.

PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE

CONDITION

Heritage and Craftsmanship

The 1930s represented a golden period for Heriz village weaving, when local artisans had perfected their traditional techniques while maintaining the bold aesthetic sensibilities that made their work distinctive. This era produced rugs that demonstrate how village traditions could achieve sophisticated color relationships and complex patterning while preserving their essential tribal character.

Design Elements

The bold central medallion establishes focal authority through its stepped geometric edges and angular definition, while contrasting blue spandrels provide balanced architectural support around the field perimeter. Densely patterned areas filled with stylized rosettes and small geometric motifs showcase the weaver's technical mastery and design sensitivity. The dynamic interplay between warm brick red and cool denim blue creates visual tension that energizes the composition while maintaining overall harmony.

Placement

At 6'6" x 8'12", this rug works beautifully in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms where its manageable scale can provide vibrant color and authentic character without overwhelming the space. The bold red and blue palette with ivory and camel accents creates a versatile foundation that enhances both traditional and eclectic decorating approaches.

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

Early Heriz rugs from this exceptional period showcase the enduring appeal of Persian weaving's village traditions, where bold geometric designs met sophisticated color sensibilities to create pieces that balance cultural authenticity with timeless aesthetic appeal. Their vibrant character continues to enliven contemporary interiors with genuine artistic heritage.
