Semi-Antique Persian Heriz Rug

7'2" x 9'2" | 218 cm x 280 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1950s Persian Heriz rug captures the essence of traditional geometric weaving while presenting a remarkably subdued and timeworn palette that sets it apart from typical Heriz boldness. Hand-knotted wool displays the characteristic central medallion and angular geometry, yet the softened blues and sandy neutrals create a refined aesthetic that appeals to contemporary sensibilities. The patina of age adds depth and warmth that transforms this classic pattern into something uniquely sophisticated.

COLORS & DETAILS

Faded beige establishes the field with a gentle, weathered presence that speaks to decades of graceful aging. Ivory brightens key motifs throughout the composition, while muted teal and denim blue create cool accents that add depth without overwhelming the serene palette. Soft sage appears in supporting elements, bringing natural sophistication, while subtle hints of camel add warmth that prevents the cooler tones from becoming stark.

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 semi-antique 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 how time can transform traditional Persian patterns into something altogether more nuanced and contemporary. The natural aging process has mellowed the original colors into harmonious relationships that demonstrate how authentic patina enhances rather than diminishes the beauty of well-crafted pieces.

Design Elements

The bold central medallion maintains its commanding presence while angular geometry creates structural framework that defines the classic Heriz aesthetic. Intricate corner spandrels provide balanced architectural support, while floral borders frame the composition with rhythmic patterns that complement rather than compete with the central design. The natural patina allows these traditional elements to register with sophisticated restraint rather than bold dominance.

Placement

At 7'2" x 9'2", this rug works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where its substantial yet manageable proportions can enhance furniture arrangements while providing authentic character. The faded beige field with muted blue and sage accents creates a versatile foundation that particularly complements both classic and modern interiors seeking refined sophistication.

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 exemplifies how authentic aging transforms Persian weaving into timeless art, where traditional patterns achieve contemporary relevance through the natural patina that only genuine vintage pieces can provide. Its sophisticated character continues to enhance modern interiors with cultural authenticity expressed through refined aesthetic restraint.
