This vintage Persian Heriz rug, woven in the renowned weaving region of Azerbaijan in Northwest Persia, features a vibrant palette inspired by classic Serapi coloration. With its brilliant red field and bold central medallion rendered in soft hues of light blue, pink, yellow, and ivory, this room-size rug offers timeless elegance and visual depth. A striking blue border frames the field with geometric motifs in saturated tones, while the corner spandrels echo the medallion's palette in cheerful shades of yellow, pink, green, and sky blue.
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.
