Heriz 1093

This exquisite room-size Persian Heriz rug, dating to the third quarter of the 20th century, features a striking medallion design rendered in a harmonious palette of ivory, red, pale blue, and soft yellow. The bold red field is framed by elegantly contrasting spandrels in shades of deep indigo, lavender, and ivory, while a classic navy blue border anchors the composition with timeless sophistication. Handwoven using a dense, high-quality wool pile and natural vegetable dyes, the rug showcases the region's renowned craftsmanship.

Heriz rugs, woven in the village of Heriz and surrounding towns of the Azerbaijan region in Northwest Persia, are among the most recognized and beloved antique Persian carpets in the world. Distinguished by their bold geometric medallions, their warm brick-red and ivory palettes, and the exceptional durability of their double-wefted construction, Heriz rugs have furnished the grand rooms of Europe and America since the late 19th century. The finest early examples — particularly those designated Serapi, woven in the 19th century villages north of Heriz — are among the most actively collected antique rugs in the world today.
