Vintage Persian Heriz Rug

6'4" x 9'5" | 192 cm x 286 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1950s Persian Heriz rug presents an unusual and refreshing interpretation of traditional geometric patterns through an unexpectedly light and airy palette. Hand-knotted wool showcases the strong angular lines and bold medallion elements characteristic of Heriz weaving, yet the dominance of blues and neutrals rather than traditional reds creates something distinctively contemporary. This softer coloration preserves the durability and bold character of classic Heriz design while offering exceptional adaptability for modern interiors.

COLORS & DETAILS

Soft beige establishes the field with a gentle, luminous presence that creates perfect contrast for the geometric patterns. Ivory details brighten key motifs throughout, while sky blue adds unexpected freshness that lifts the entire composition. Deep navy provides the border with striking definition against the pale field, creating visual clarity and depth that allows each design element to register with precision. Hints of slate appear subtly throughout, adding sophisticated depth to the restrained 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

This rug represents an innovative direction within Heriz weaving traditions, where artisans occasionally experimented with lighter color palettes while maintaining their signature geometric strength. Such pieces demonstrate how traditional patterns could serve contemporary aesthetic preferences without compromising the structural integrity and bold character that defined the regional style.

Design Elements

Strong angular lines define the geometric framework with characteristic Heriz precision, while bold medallion elements create focal drama at the composition's center. The unusual light palette allows these powerful structural elements to register with exceptional clarity, creating compositions where geometric boldness achieves surprising sophistication. The deep navy border provides essential visual weight that anchors the pale field while creating the contrast necessary for pattern definition.

Placement

At 6'4" x 9'5", this rug works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where its manageable scale can provide distinctive character without overwhelming the space. The light beige field with sky blue and navy accents creates a versatile palette that particularly enhances contemporary and transitional interiors seeking authentic Persian character with modern sensibilities.

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

This rug stands as an exceptional example of how Persian weaving traditions could embrace contemporary color sensibilities while maintaining their essential character. Its light and airy presence continues to enhance modern interiors with authentic cultural heritage expressed through refreshingly unexpected aesthetic choices.
