This remarkable hand-knotted rug seamlessly blends the bold geometry of Heriz design with the softer elegance of Oushak craftsmanship, creating a sophisticated composition centered around a powerful medallion on a cool gray field. Expertly woven from premium wool on a cotton foundation, the rug showcases a dynamic rust-red starburst medallion layered with structured blue geometric forms, while subtle lime green accents introduce freshness and unexpected energy throughout the design. The crisp architectural motifs characteristic of Persian Heriz rugs are balanced by the more relaxed, open feel associated with Oushak weaving, resulting in a design that feels both strong and approachable. An expansive ivory border adorned with flowing vines and stylized floral details frames the rug beautifully, adding classical refinement and contrast to the central field. With its modern gray base and carefully balanced palette of rust, blue, lime, and ivory, this handmade wool rug offers exceptional versatility, enhancing interiors that range from industrial and modern to traditional and collected.

Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs are masterpieces of bold design and enduring craftsmanship, originating from the rugged mountainous region of northwestern Iran near Tabriz. Woven from robust local wool rich in natural lanolin, these rugs are prized for their exceptional durability, making them ideal heirloom pieces capable of withstanding generations of use. Their signature aesthetic centers on a commanding angular medallion—geometric, bold, and architecturally structured—framed by stylized leaves and repeating motifs that radiate across the field with confident precision. The color story is striking yet grounded, combining deep reds, rich indigos, ivory, and earthy tones to create a dramatic, architectural presence. Each Heriz rug embodies the balance of strength and artistry, serving not only as a practical floor covering but also as a statement piece that conveys the timeless skill of Persian village weaving and the enduring allure of bold, visually commanding design.
