About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian Heriz rug dates to the early 20th century, circa 1900–1920, and originates from the Heriz weaving region of northwest Iran, renowned for bold geometry and exceptional structural strength. Woven in a standard large rectangular format, it measures approximately 8 ft 0 in x 11 ft 2 in (about 244 x 340 cm), making it well suited for primary living spaces. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation and remains a one-of-a-kind example with robust construction and enduring visual impact.
Design Analysis
The composition is centered on a bold geometric medallion set within a richly patterned field, a classic Heriz layout emphasizing architectural clarity and symmetry. Angular floral elements, serrated leaves, and stepped geometric forms radiate from the medallion and continue into the surrounding field. Multiple borders frame the composition, anchored by a strong main border with stylized floral motifs and supported by narrower guard stripes. The palette is dominated by burnt ochre tones balanced with midnight navy, complemented by lighter beige and ivory accents that heighten contrast and definition. Subtle tonal variation adds depth without disrupting the strong graphic presence.
Weave and Performance
Knotted with symmetrical (Turkish) knots at an estimated density of 100–150 KPSI, this rug is structurally durable and well suited to long-term use. The medium pile height of approximately 6 mm creates a resilient surface with moderate sheen and a firm, slightly stiff handle typical of Heriz carpets. A woven cotton foundation and intact selvedges support stability, making the rug appropriate for living rooms, dining rooms, libraries, and formal sitting areas with regular use.
Professional Application
This Heriz rug integrates seamlessly into traditional, architectural, and collected interiors that benefit from strong geometry and saturated color. Its scale comfortably anchors seating arrangements or dining tables, while the burnt ochre and navy palette pairs naturally with wood floors, stone, and neutral upholstery. As a high-prestige antique with solid value retention, it serves both decorative and investment-driven design objectives.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage. Fringes and selvedges remain intact, showing only minor irregularities typical of handwoven pieces. Professional cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of high-alkaline products, in keeping with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
