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

Bold geometry and classic color define this hand-knotted Oushak rug inspired by the Heriz weaving tradition. A rich rust red field sets the stage for a dramatic starburst medallion rendered in ivory and soft rose, its angular geometry radiating outward with striking clarity. Pale blue and beige spandrels soften the composition, while a deep navy border frames the design and reinforces its architectural strength. Hand-knotted from premium wool, the rug showcases sharp lines and precise angles that highlight the skill of its makers. Multiple layered borders add depth and structure, drawing attention to the central medallion. Designed for longevity, this rug offers both visual impact and lasting performance.

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.
