Red 5'10''x8'10'' Indo Heriz Traditional Medallion Geometric Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

This approximately 6×9 Indo Heriz hand-knotted wool rug showcases the bold, architectural character for which Heriz designs are renowned. Woven on a cotton foundation with a medium 0.50-inch pile, the rug offers a firm yet comfortable surface that emphasizes structure and longevity. A saturated red field immediately commands attention, providing a powerful backdrop for the sharply defined geometric composition. The central medallion is constructed from angular, stepped forms outlined in deep blue and black, creating a strong visual anchor rooted in traditional Heriz aesthetics. Aqua and green tones soften transitions between shapes, while cream and blush highlights introduce balance and contrast. Subtle peach accents warm the palette, preventing the geometry from feeling rigid. The border continues the angular vocabulary of the field, repeating geometric and abstract motifs that frame the rug with rhythmic precision. This rug works exceptionally well in dining rooms, living spaces, or studies where a confident statement piece is desired.

Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs originate from the Heris region of East Azerbaijan in northwestern Iran and are celebrated for their bold scale, architectural presence, and exceptional durability. Unlike many Persian rugs that rely on curvilinear drawing, Heriz designs are defined by strong angular forms and monumental floral medallions. While medallion layouts are most common, allover Heriz patterns are also produced, retaining the same emphasis on structure and geometry. Bright, saturated colors and high-contrast motifs make Heriz rugs immediately recognizable. Typically woven at a density of approximately 30 to 80 knots per square inch, these rugs may appear coarser than finely knotted Tabriz carpets, yet they are renowned for their rugged construction and long lifespan. This combination of visual strength and practical durability has secured Heriz rugs a lasting place in both traditional and modern interior design.
