Originating from the Heris village in northwestern Iran, this antique Heriz rug dates back to circa 1920. It features a traditional tribal design with a predominant geometric pattern that is typical of Heriz rugs. The background of the rug presents a rich brick color, while its border is rendered in a contrasting navy blue. The main color throughout the rug is deep red, which harmonizes with other colors such as beige, navy blue, and green, giving it a vibrant yet cohesive appearance.
Constructed from high-quality wool on a cotton foundation, this Heriz rug is known for its durability and density. This construction method contributes to its robustness, making it suitable for various settings. The central medallion of the rug is a striking feature, showcasing an elaborate star-like floral shape. It is surrounded by intricate patterns that extend to the edges, incorporating floral and botanical motifs like flower petals, leaves, and vine-like designs. These elements add complexity and depth to the overall pattern.
The borders of the rug are equally detailed, with a broad main border that includes smaller, repeating floral and geometric patterns. An innermost thinner border complements this by featuring continuous floral and vine patterns, which help frame the central design effectively.
Heriz rugs are traditionally known for their bold geometric designs and prominent central medallions. The aesthetic characteristics of this rug reflect the cultural influences of the region, with design motifs inspired by Persian artistic traditions and tribal weaving techniques. The cold climate of the Heriz area yields fine wool, which plays a crucial role in the quality and longevity of these rugs. Each rug tells a story of cultural exchange and the skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations.
The historical context of Heriz rugs highlights their development during the late 19th century as a response to the demand from Tabriz merchants for large, export-quality carpets. This led to the blending of rustic village craftsmanship with the grandeur of traditional Persian court pieces. Despite modern influences, the traditional techniques of Heriz rug-making have been preserved, maintaining the authenticity and cultural significance of these rugs.
This particular Heriz rug is an excellent representation of its type, combining aesthetic beauty with functional durability, and stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Persian carpet weaving.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
