About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian Heriz rug dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and originates from the Heriz weaving region of northwest Iran, renowned for bold geometry and exceptional structural strength. Woven in an oversize rectangular format measuring approximately 8 ft 6 in x 14 ft 6 in (about 270 x 425 cm), it functions as a room-scale statement piece rather than a narrow runner. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, with a mid-height pile that retains clear articulation of the design. As a one-of-a-kind antique, it represents a high-prestige example with strong collector appeal.
Design Analysis
The composition centers on a large, multi-lobed geometric medallion with pendant extensions, set within a richly saturated red field and framed by cream-colored corner spandrels. Multiple borders surround the field, anchored by a wide dark navy main border and articulated with several finely detailed guard stripes. Motifs include angular palmettes, stylized arabesques, latch-hook forms, serrated leaves, and rosettes, all rendered in a distinctly Heriz geometric idiom. The palette is warm and rustic, dominated by burnt brick red and balanced with navy, pale cream, olive green, mahogany brown, and restrained teal accents. Visible abrash in the red and green areas adds depth and visual vitality.
Weave and Performance
Knotted with symmetrical (Turkish) knots at an estimated density of 100–150 KPSI, the rug is structurally robust and well suited to long-term use. The approximately 7 mm pile height provides a firm, resilient surface with moderate sheen and a slightly stiffer handle characteristic of Heriz carpets. A woven cotton foundation and intact selvedges contribute to durability, supporting use in living rooms, libraries, formal dining rooms, grand foyers, and primary bedrooms.
Professional Application
This Heriz rug is ideal for traditional, architectural, and collected interiors that benefit from strong geometry and saturated color. Its large scale anchors expansive rooms, while the medallion layout naturally centers seating or dining arrangements. With top-tier prestige, rarity, and value retention, it serves equally well as a decorative focal point and an investment-grade antique.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition, with even wear consistent with age and no visible repairs, stains, odors, or moth damage. Fringes, selvedges, and borders remain intact and well maintained, showing only minor wear appropriate to its period. Professional, low-moisture cleaning is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of high-alkaline products, in line with 1stDibs standards for fine 19th-century rugs.
