Antique Heriz Persian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7373 11'0" × 11'5" $43,000

This 1920’s Antique Persian Heriz Rug is a striking example of one of the most admired weaving traditions of Northwest Persia. Woven by skilled artisans over a century ago, this piece radiates a timeless elegance with its bold color palette and intricate geometric design.

The rug features a warm brick-red field that serves as the canvas for a profusion of stylized floral and palmette motifs, arranged symmetrically around a powerful central medallion. Shades of ivory, indigo, sky blue, rose, and soft beige enrich the composition, adding both depth and vibrancy. The angular drawing of the floral forms, typical of Heriz weavings, balances strength with artistry, making the design both commanding and decorative.

A wide ivory border, adorned with angular vinescrolls, geometric rosettes, and abstract floral figures, frames the central field beautifully. Narrow guard borders in deep red provide further definition and contrast. The interplay of strong geometry with organic floral symbolism embodies the unique character of antique Heriz rugs, bridging tribal vigor with urban sophistication.

Hand-knotted in durable wool, this rug is not only a visual masterpiece but also an heirloom of exceptional quality and resilience. Its generous size and commanding presence make it an ideal choice for a grand living room, library, or dining space.
