Heritage and Craftsmanship

The Heriz region of northwestern Iran represents one of Persia's most celebrated village weaving traditions. Unlike urban workshop productions, these rugs emerge from a more spontaneous design approach, where weavers work from memory rather than formal patterns. The result is a distinctive style characterized by bold geometric forms, angular drawing, and powerful visual presence that has made these rugs perennial favorites worldwide.

Design Elements

This runner displays the hallmark repeating medallion pattern typical of village-woven Heriz pieces. The strong angular drawing and tribal symmetry create a commanding visual rhythm as medallions march along the runner's length. Geometric motifs fill the surrounding field, creating a balanced composition where each element relates harmoniously to the whole. This characteristic boldness exemplifies the confident Heriz aesthetic that has maintained its distinctive character for generations.

Placement

The impressive 3' 6'' x 12' 7'' dimensions make this runner perfect for long hallways, galleries, or as a dramatic pathway in open floor plans. Its vibrant brick red palette brings warmth and energy to transitional spaces, while its repeating geometric structure guides the eye and creates visual flow. The runner's substantial length allows it to make a striking statement in otherwise challenging architectural spaces.

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

Persian Heriz runners represent a fascinating intersection of tribal expressiveness and mathematical precision. Their geometric boldness and structural integrity create pieces that hold their own in both traditional and contemporary settings, bringing warmth, character and architectural presence to modern interiors.
