This is a fantastic heavyset Persian Heriz rug from the 1920s. It’s a 10’x13’ and a little bigger than the norm, which is great if you actually have a big space that needs a heavy anchor with a real, powerful presence.
It’s an absolute workhorse. We're talking double-knotted wool for each and every knot, vegetable-dyed, supremely weighted. You can feel the quality and its history with its light, scattered wear here and there that shows off its age; but make no mistake: this thing is built like a tank and will easily serve for generations to come.
Love the design too; you’ve got these bold botanical motifs translated into edgy, sharp angular art. A little departure from Heriz design of tribal geometric, this one is more floral. The corner spandrels especially pop with that crisp ivory background, framing the central field with serrated leaves, stylized geometry, and subtle pops of ice blue and navy.
It’s a rugged, gorgeous Persian that won't quit. Toss it under a heavy dining table, let it sit under the bed frame with room to spare on all sides, or anchor a large living room setup where everything feels connected. It locks the whole room down, pulls the furniture together, and brings that warmth and character only a century-old piece can pull off. Truly. Old Persians, best ever woven, with vegetable dyed wool.
Threw in some objects to help illustrate the colors of the rug.
