Vintage Persian Heriz Rug – 5' x 5'7"
Bold, geometric, and full of rustic charm — this Persian Heriz rug brings powerful visual energy to any space. Woven in the Heriz region of northwest Iran, this piece measures 5 feet by 5 feet 7 inches, a perfect square-like shape that's rare and highly versatile for both traditional and modern interiors.
   Weaving & Structure:
Heriz rugs are known for their rugged durability and bold tribal structure, and this piece is no exception. Woven using hand-spun wool on a strong cotton foundation, it features a coarse, sturdy weave, ideal for high-traffic areas like entryways or living rooms. The knot density is approximately 80–120 KPSI, typical for village-made Heriz rugs.
  Design & Palette:
At the heart of the rug lies a striking angular central medallion, set against a rich brick red field, surrounded by stylized palmettes, floral elements, and bold corner spandrels. The use of navy, ivory, blush pink, baby blue, and soft green gives this rug its distinctive, earthy balance. Natural vegetable dyes offer long-lasting beauty and a warm patina that only time can create.
   Region & Heritage:
Heriz rugs are woven by Azerbaijani tribespeople in villages around Mount Sabalan. Known for their graphic designs and long life expectancy, Heriz rugs from the mid-20th century — such as this one, likely from the 1950s–1960s — are especially sought after. They are deeply influenced by Caucasian and geometric patterns, yet are distinct in their Persian roots.
   What Makes It Special:
The slightly square shape and bold, commanding design make this rug an ideal centerpiece — under a coffee table, in a reading nook, or layered in a bohemian-style living space. Every line and motif was woven by hand, possibly over the course of several months by at least two village weavers, making it a one-of-a-kind textile treasure.
