A bold 8 x 9.8 Heriz area rug in red, navy blue, cream and brown. Hand-knotted in Iran from wool, it shows the classic Persian Heriz look: a large, stepped geometric medallion at the center, cream corner pieces, and a dark, busy border. Rich brick red sets the tone, with navy, black and light blue adding depth. The result is strong traditional character with real presence in a room.
Heriz rugs take their name from Heriz (also spelled Heris), a town in East Azerbaijan in northwest Iran, roughly 40 miles east of Tabriz. The surrounding villages have woven these sturdy, geometric carpets for generations, and they became favorites in Europe and America for their bold designs and long wear. Because this rug was woven in Iran, it is a true Persian Heriz.
Where this rug works best
At 8 x 9.8 feet (96 x 116 inches), this is a generous room-size rug. It suits a living room seating group, a dining room table with chairs pulled out, or a large bedroom. The red and navy palette looks great with wood floors, leather, and neutral walls, and gives a transitional or modern room a warm focal point.
Built to last
Because it is hand-knotted, the pattern is part of the rug itself, not printed on top. Wool is naturally resilient and soft underfoot, and Heriz rugs are known for wearing well in high-traffic spaces. Pair it with a rug pad for extra comfort and grip.
