The rug in question is unmistakably a Persian Heriz, hailing from the Heris village in northwestern Iran. Noted for their distinctive style and exceptional longevity, Heriz rugs are emblematic of the region, characterized by their use of bold geometric designs, vibrant coloring, and high-quality wool.
The Heriz rug design rose to prominence during the late 19th century, but its roots are steeped in history, tracing as far back as the Mongol invasion of the 13th century. Influenced by Mongolian settlers in the northwest region of Iran, the Heriz rug also represents a manifestation of cultural exchange with neighboring tribes like the Turks, Armenians, and Kurds. This amalgamation of influence is clearly visible in the bold, angular designs that set Heriz rugs apart from other Persian artifacts.
The rug referenced here, having been crafted circa 1960, emanates a vintage aura. The wool-on-cotton material composition has a soothing taupe background. The carpet's central design showcases an intricate, diamond-shaped medallion, a defining characteristic of the Heriz style. Lifted from the backdrop are ornate motifs of floral and geometric characters. The medallion is encompassed by numerous layers of delicately crafted borders filled with smaller floral and geometric patterns. Its substantial primary border exhibits a recurring leaf and vine pattern, flanked by narrower borders housing smaller iterative motifs.
Executed with unparalleled precision and skill, the rug offers a sense of depth and embossment through its strategic use of contrasting tones that highlight the motifs' contours. The dense pile construction, another hallmark of Heriz rugs, enhances their durability and lifespan.
A testament to traditional craftsmanship, the Heriz rug continues to preserve its cultural significance and artisanal authenticity despite its popularity in the global market. Its limited spectrum of colors pairs harmoniously with diverse home settings, especially ones featuring woodwork. Resilient, elegant, and steeped in cultural history, the Heriz rug remains an enduring icon of Iran's northwest carpet industry.

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.
