A captivating mid-20th century Persian Heriz rug from the Azerbaijan region of Northwest Persia, this room-size masterpiece embodies the rich heritage and timeless appeal of traditional Persian weaving. The rustic red field sets a warm and inviting foundation, anchored by a large central medallion rendered in soft shades of light blue, pink, yellow, and ivory.
The corner spandrels are presented in a gentle cream tone, adorned with stylized floral motifs in red, blue, green, yellow, and pink—offering a harmonious contrast to the bold central field. Framing the composition is a deep navy blue border featuring a vibrant array of geometric patterns in complementary colors, adding structure and visual rhythm to the piece.
Hand-knotted using natural vegetable dyes and wool, this Heriz rug is known for its enduring quality and distinctive abrash—a subtle variation in color that develops beautifully with age and use. A true statement rug, it is perfect for grounding formal living spaces, dining rooms, or curated interiors where artful craftsmanship and character are paramount.
