Antique Heriz Persian Medallion Geometric Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8007 9'6" × 14'4" $40,000

This antique Persian Heriz rug, woven circa 1920 in northwest Persia, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from the storied Heriz weaving tradition. Its bold medallion composition is structured with the kind of confident geometry that has made antique Heriz rugs enduring favorites among collectors and designers.

At the center, a stepped octagonal crest unfolds across a brick-red field, framed by angular floral sprays and crisp ivory reserves. Deep navy blue anchors the design, while coral, teal, and sage details animate the floral lattice and give the drawing a lively, almost architectural rhythm. The broad border repeats stylized blossoms and rosettes in a steady cadence, reinforcing the rug’s formal balance.

Both decorative and grounded, this antique medallion rug brings warmth and visual order to a living room, dining room, or library. Its geometric clarity, layered ornament, and durable wool pile reflect the practical elegance of Persian village weaving at its finest.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
