Aqua 8'10''x11'8'' Oushak Heriz Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

This 9x12 hand-knotted wool Heriz rug reflects the bold geometry and architectural strength of classic Heriz weaving, softened through a nuanced, earthy palette. A large angular central medallion in aqua and blue anchors the composition, its stepped contours characteristic of traditional Heriz design. Surrounding geometric and floral elements unfold across a brown-toned field, accented by moss and beige to introduce warmth and organic balance. The contrast between cool blues and earthy browns enhances depth while preserving clarity. A wide border frames the rug with repeating geometric rosettes and angular vine forms in blue, aqua, moss, and brown, reinforcing symmetry and rhythm. Hand knotted from wool on a cotton foundation, this rug offers durability and commanding presence for living rooms, dining areas, or offices.

Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs originate from the rugged highlands of northwestern Iran, near the historic weaving center of Tabriz, where village artisans developed a style known for its strength, clarity, and unmistakable presence. Woven with thick, resilient local wool naturally rich in lanolin, these rugs are celebrated for their durability and ability to withstand decades of daily use. The defining feature of Heriz design is its bold, angular medallion—large in scale and geometric in form—surrounded by sharply stylized leaves, rosettes, and structural motifs that extend confidently across the field. Color palettes traditionally feature saturated reds, deep indigo blues, warm ivories, and grounded earth tones, enhancing the rug’s architectural character and visual weight. With their powerful compositions and enduring construction, Heriz rugs stand as iconic examples of Persian village weaving, prized both as functional heirlooms and as commanding statement pieces in sophisticated interiors.
