This is the rug people will ask about when they come over! The kind of rug that stops you in your tracks, pulling you in with its mesmerizing all-over design. This antiqe Persian rug breaks the mold with an art form that has your eyes wandering across its deep navy field. It’s a masterpiece of movement—tribal motifs, angular medallions, and stylized vines all woven together in perfect harmony. There’s no single focal point; instead, your eye moves effortlessly from motif to motif, like following the rhythm of an ancient song.
A true circa 1910 Persian Heriz, this rug stands out from the crowd. Its exceptional size of 6’2” x 8’7” makes it even rarer, perfectly suited for grounding a space with both presence and warmth. The scattered wear tells its story, adding depth and that undeniable old-world charm that only comes with time.
Now, let’s talk about what makes this Heriz different. Instead of the classic bold medallion, this piece is filled with an expansive all-over design, featuring crab-like palmettes, jagged tribal florals, and geometric latticework that create a sense of endless movement. These motifs, signature elements of Northwest Persian weaving, feel almost electric—sharper, more dynamic, and completely mesmerizing. The balance between structure and spontaneity in this design is what makes it unforgettable.
And the colors? A deep navy ground sets the perfect stage for bursts of rust, terracotta, and golden yellow that bring warmth and depth. Then come the accents—ice blue, coral, pink, and teal, adding richness and contrast. Hints of sky blue, lime green, moss green, and kiwi green weave through the field like nature reclaiming the design, each shade glowing in its own way. And then there’s the abrash—those beautiful natural variations in color that occur when different batches of hand-dyed wool are used, creating subtle shifts in tone throughout the rug. It’s one of the hallmarks of true antique rugs, a reminder that this piece was handwoven, its colors evolving over time in the most organic way.
This low pile old world wool rug is tribal, strong yet intricate, and will be an impressive work of art on the floor. Durable, heirloom-quality, and ready to transform any space, this is the rug that will not go unnoticed. Oh and feel free to let the fur babies on top to play, this rug will manage just fine.
Handwoven with vegetable dyed wool.
