About the Item

Handmade Antique Persian Heriz Rug This is an authentic and charming antique rug, originating from the Heriz weaving area in the Azerbaijan region of Northwest Persia. Dating to the 1920s, this piece represents nearly a century of history and traditional craftsmanship from one of the world's most renowned rug-making regions. The Heriz Style Heriz rugs are highly prized for their distinctive geometric, medallion-and-corner design and remarkable durability, often featuring a large, angular central medallion. This piece exhibits the classic Heriz aesthetic, utilizing a rich, strong color palette that historically favored deep reds (often madder), navy blue, sky blue, and cream/ivory accents. The bold, almost architectural patterning provides a beautiful contrast to softer, more flowing floral designs found in other Persian weaving regions. Size and Condition Its size classifies it as a small area rug or a large doormat size, perfect for adding an antique focal point to a small entryway, a hearth, or layered under a piece of furniture. Being approximately 100 years old, it is in good vintage condition and wears its history gracefully. "Some signs of age" include the desirable characteristic of natural patina, slightly softened colors, and minor, gentle wear to the hand-knotted wool pile, which authenticates its age and history. This rug is not just a floor covering but a piece of collectible textile art, providing unparalleled warmth, texture, and historical depth to any room.
