This distinguished hand-knotted rug showcases a powerful blend of Heriz geometric structure and refined Oushak artistry, centered around an ornate medallion design set against a sophisticated gray field. Expertly woven from premium wool on a cotton foundation, the rug features a richly detailed medallion in rust, blue, and brown tones, surrounded by carefully balanced corner spandrels that enhance symmetry and visual depth. The crisp lines and angular forms speak to traditional Persian Heriz craftsmanship, while the softened palette and open spacing introduce a more graceful Oushak influence. A bold dark brown border frames the design, decorated with stylized floral rosettes and geometric accents in ivory, blue, lime, and rust, creating striking contrast and visual drama. The layered color story and architectural clarity make this handmade wool rug a commanding yet versatile statement piece, ideal for interiors seeking depth, structure, and enduring elegance.

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.
