Red Antique Heriz Wool Rug - 6'10" x 10'4"

This Red Antique Heriz Wool Rug, measuring 6'10" x 10'4", represents a classic example of traditional Persian craftsmanship. Originating from the Heriz region of Iran, this hand-knotted wool rug showcases the distinctive geometric patterns and robust construction characteristic of its style.

The central field features a rich red hue, serving as a backdrop for a prominent, stepped central medallion rendered in navy blue and cream tones. Complementary geometric motifs, including stylized flowers and angular vines, fill the field and corner spandrels. A multi-layered border, primarily in navy blue, frames the design with a sequence of smaller traditional patterns and palmettes. The overall color palette extends beyond the dominant red and navy, incorporating subtle accents of light blue, soft green, muted pink, and beige, which contribute to its antique character and visual depth.

Crafted from durable wool, each knot of this rug was meticulously tied by hand, ensuring a resilient pile and a unique texture. This traditional hand-knotting technique, passed down through generations in Iran, results in a rug built for longevity and able to withstand daily use. The natural wool material provides insulation and a soft feel underfoot.

With its substantial dimensions of 6 feet 10 inches by 10 feet 4 inches, this Heriz rug is well-suited for anchoring larger living spaces, dining rooms, or studies. As an antique piece, it brings historical authenticity and a classic aesthetic to any interior. This traditional Persian rug enhances both classic and contemporary decor by adding warmth, intricate detail, and a sense of heritage.
