Rust & Ivory 8'10''x12'4'' Oushak Heriz Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

Drawing inspiration from classic Heriz geometry, this hand-knotted Oushak rug features a striking stepped medallion and a richly layered color palette. The burgundy-rust field sets the stage for an ornate ivory medallion with a peach-toned center, creating strong contrast and depth. Sky blue and mint spandrels anchor each corner with architectural clarity, while stylized florals and curving arabesques soften the angular geometry throughout the field. A deep navy border detailed with flowing vine scrolls and traditional florals provides bold framing and balance. Hand-knotted from premium wool on a cotton foundation, this rug displays sharp pattern definition and vibrant color clarity. The combination of warm and cool tones delivers versatility, while the plush wool pile ensures long-lasting comfort and durability.

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.
