Brick Red Persian Runner
2' 11'' x 12' 8'' | 90 cm x 385 cm
OVERVIEW
Bold geometric precision defines this 1960s Persian Heriz runner, where village weaving traditions meet architectural elegance. Stretching over twelve feet in length, the narrow format creates a dramatic visual pathway anchored by a sequence of stepped medallions. Rich brick red grounds provide vibrant contrast for jewel-toned motifs that have developed nuanced character over time.
COLORS & DETAILS
A commanding brick red field anchors the composition, framed by walnut brown borders that provide earthy contrast. Faded turquoise, pistachio green, and soft cream accents punctuate the angular botanical forms, creating visual rhythm throughout the length. The saturated palette has mellowed beautifully, with muted pastel tones emerging within the motifs as evidence of natural aging.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Heriz region in northwestern Persia is renowned for its distinctive village weaving tradition, characterized by bold geometric designs and architectural precision. Unlike the floral elegance of urban workshop rugs, these pieces embody a more elemental aesthetic with strong outlines, angular motifs, and confident color contrasts that reflect their origin in mountain villages.
Design Elements
This captivating runner is defined by its stepped medallion layout, complemented by angular botanical forms and stylized palmettes that create visual rhythm along its length. The sharp outlines, elemental symmetry, and confident use of saturated tones exemplify classic Heriz village weaving traditions. The repeating motifs establish a sense of movement and presence, creating a dynamic visual pathway that draws the eye forward.
Placement
The striking 2' 11'' x 12' 8'' dimensions make this runner ideal for long hallways, galleries, or as a sophisticated divider between living spaces. Its vibrant brick red palette introduces warmth and energy to neutral interiors, while its geometric precision complements both traditional and modern settings. The dramatic length allows it to define circulation paths and anchor extended 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 marriage of practical function and artistic expression. These village-woven pieces showcase the confident geometric vocabulary of northwestern Persian weaving, bringing both heritage and visual impact to contemporary interiors.
