Honoring the distinguished Heriz tradition, this hand-knotted Oushak rug features a bold central medallion set against a distressed slate gray field designed to evoke a naturally aged, vintage look. The classical composition incorporates strong geometric motifs and architectural elements in a muted palette of ivory, warm rose, fresh lime green, rich brown, and creamy beige, intentionally softened to enhance its timeworn character. Each knot has been carefully hand-tied using premium wool on a durable cotton foundation, resulting in an heirloom-quality rug with exceptional depth and texture. Traditional corner spandrels and geometric detailing enrich the field, while the wide ivory border adorned with stylized botanicals provides a weathered yet refined frame. The distressed gray base adds warmth and collected charm, allowing softened accent tones to add personality without overwhelming the design. Finished with a plush wool pile, this handcrafted rug delivers instant character and timeless appeal.

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.
