Vintage Persian Heriz Rug

7'3" x 9'2" | 222 cm x 280 cm

OVERVIEW

This 1950s Persian Heriz rug captures the gentle evolution of color that comes only with time and natural aging. The faded rose field creates an unexpectedly romantic foundation for the angular geometric patterns that define Heriz craftsmanship. Hand-knotted wool reveals decades of graceful mellowing, where original intensity has transformed into sophisticated restraint.

COLORS & DETAILS

Faded rose dominates the field with warmth that feels both vintage and thoroughly contemporary. The deep navy border creates bold definition around the perimeter, while soft beige threads through the composition adding gentle neutrality. Light blue details appear as delicate accents, softening the overall palette and bringing an element of unexpected freshness to the aged surface.

PHOTOGRAPHY NOTE

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

The Heriz weaving tradition represents one of Persian weaving's most recognizable styles, where village artisans developed techniques that emphasize bold geometry and remarkable longevity. These weavers mastered the art of translating complex floral motifs into angular, tribal interpretations that have influenced rug design across generations.

Design Elements

Angular floral motifs and stylized vine forms spread across the field in symmetrical arrangements, showcasing the distinctive drawing style that makes each Heriz rug unmistakable. The dark navy border provides strong architectural framing around the lighter rose-toned field, creating definition and visual weight that anchors the composition. Years of natural aging have revealed a beautifully worn surface where bold structural elements blend seamlessly with softened tonal variations.

Placement

The 7'3" x 9'2" dimensions make this rug ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where its substantial yet graceful proportions can complement furniture arrangements. The romantic rose and navy palette works particularly well in spaces seeking warmth without overwhelming brightness, while the geometric patterns provide visual structure that supports both traditional and contemporary design schemes.

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

Heriz rugs embody one of Oriental carpet weaving's most enduring traditions, where generations of artisans perfected the balance between decorative beauty and practical durability. Their distinctive angular style continues to resonate in modern interiors, offering authentic character that transcends fleeting design trends.
