In this hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Heriz rug, the union of earth-tone elegance and cohesive coziness unfolds, give a modern twist to the enduring legacy of Heriz carpets. Rooted in the historical weaving traditions of the village of Heris, located in the slopes of Mount Sabalan, this rug encapsulates the strength and durability inherent in Heriz rugs, attributed to the high-quality wool produced by sheep drinking from copper-enriched waters.

The distinctive geometric design and refined color palette of this rug seamlessly blend, creating a modern yet elevated aesthetic. The soothing tan backdrop serves as a canvas for a large-scale concentric diamond medallion, adorned with a superimposed square shape and serrated leaves radiating from the center. This design choice, characterized by rectilinear precision, sets the Heriz rug apart from other formal Persian designs. The patterns, outlined with meticulous detail, come to life against the antique-washed field, giving them a visual depth and strength. Angular buds, curved sickle leaves, stylized florals, and angular oak leaves dance across the richly striated field, creating a captivating visual feast. The backdrop enhances the visual impact, as if the patterns are floating on the surface of the carpet.

As your eyes wander, the corner spandrels echo the angular designs within the composition, contributing to the rug's overall coherence. The visual complexity, marked by delineated shapes and soft earthy hues, creates an esoteric juxtaposition within the geometric design. It is framed with a simple meandering Lily border, enclosed by an outer S-Hook guard border. Reflecting a traditional sensibility and timeless elegance, this vintage Heriz rug transcends mere floor covering; it radiates character and warmth, inviting you to become a part of its storied legacy. Each knot in the wool threads tells a tale of the Old World, making this rug not just a piece of decor but a cherished piece of history.
