This vintage Persian Heriz rug, dating from the second quarter of the 20th century, is a striking room-size piece featuring a bold geometric medallion design that exemplifies the enduring artistry of Northwest Persian weaving. A vibrant brick-red field anchors the composition, showcasing a large central medallion in rich blue tones, beautifully framed by spandrels in ivory, red, and elegant French blue.
The deep navy blue border provides a strong visual frame, detailed with intricate motifs in complementary hues of pink, blue, red, cream, and brown. Woven with high-quality wool and naturally dyed with vegetable-based pigments, the rug exhibits a subtle abrash—organic shifts in tone that create visual depth and a soft, time-worn patina. With a very soft pile and preserved in excellent condition, this Heriz rug offers both durability and refined character, making it an exceptional choice for designers or collectors seeking a vibrant and timeless foundation for any interior.
