This early 20th-century Heriz rug offers a bold and unusual take on one of Persia’s most iconic village weaves. Rather than the typical central medallion, this piece features a rare all-over tribal design—an energetic composition of angular floral and geometric elements spread evenly across the field.

The rug’s character is unmistakably Heriz: strong lines, powerful motifs, and richly saturated colors. Yet there’s a certain wildness in its layout—a spontaneous rhythm that suggests the hand of a village weaver working from memory rather than a strict cartoon. That spirit of improvisation gives the piece life and personality.

Woven from durable wool on a cotton foundation and constructed with a robust double knot, this rug was built to last. Its earthy reds, deep indigos, and soft neutrals have aged gracefully, giving the surface a warm, time-worn glow.

In very good condition, this Heriz rug is ideal for those who appreciate tribal authenticity, structural integrity, and a design that breaks from the expected.
