Blue & Ivory 9'1''x11'11'' Oushak Heriz Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

Rooted in the architectural strength of classic Heriz weaving, this hand-knotted Oushak rug makes an immediate statement through its bold symmetry and striking geometric structure. A richly saturated blue field sets the stage for a powerful diamond medallion rendered in layered ivory and deep navy, its stepped contours and angular detailing creating a sense of movement and authority across the rectangular layout. Scattered throughout the field, stylized botanical elements in rust, aqua, lime, and muted taupe soften the geometry with organic contrast, lending warmth and visual rhythm to the composition. An expansive ivory border finished with time-honored geometric motifs and subtle vine patterns frames the design with refined balance, allowing the central medallion to remain dominant without overwhelming the space. Hand-knotted by skilled artisans using premium wool on a cotton foundation, the rug displays crisp pattern definition, saturated color depth, and the subtle variations that define authentic craftsmanship. The layered palette of tonal blues combined with earthy accents offers remarkable flexibility, grounding traditional interiors while adding bold character to modern and eclectic spaces alike. Designed for both beauty and longevity, the dense wool pile delivers lasting comfort and resilience, ensuring this piece remains a striking focal point for years to come.

Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs originate from the rugged, mountainous region of northwestern Iran, near the historic weaving center of Tabriz, where village artisans developed a tradition defined by strength, clarity, and bold visual expression. Woven with thick, resilient local wool rich in natural lanolin, these rugs are celebrated for their exceptional durability and ability to withstand decades of use while retaining their character. The defining feature of Heriz design is its powerful angular medallion—large, geometric, and architectural in presence—often surrounded by stylized leaves, serrated forms, and bold corner motifs that extend confidently across the field. Color palettes favor saturated reds, deep indigo blues, ivory, and earthy neutrals, reinforcing the rug’s commanding structure and visual weight. Revered for their balance of rugged construction and dramatic design, Heriz rugs stand as enduring examples of Persian village weaving, equally prized for their functionality and their unmistakable presence in refined interiors.
