Vintage Heriz Rug
4 × 6 ft · 137 × 183 cm · Rust, Indigo & Ivory
A vintage Heriz rug in the Meshkin manner — two indigo medallions on a rust-red field, hand-knotted in northwest Iran in the 1960s–70s.
A Vintage Heriz in the Meshkin Manner
The Heriz region lies northeast of Tabriz, in the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan. Its rug tradition has a geometric, architectural drawing that sits closer to the village and tribal repertoire than to the urban atelier work of Tabriz or Isfahan. This piece is Heriz-knotted, with a pattern drawn from the neighbouring Meshkin tradition: not the single large medallion of a classic Heriz, but a lively tribal field organised around two stacked medallions.
It dates from the 1960s–70s and is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation.
Colour and Composition
On a warm rust-red field, two stepped indigo-blue medallions are stacked vertically, each with a small central rosette. The field around them is densely packed with small squared boxes — stars, rosettes and stylised tribal figures — in ivory, olive, coral-pink and grey-green. A multi-band border carries the same vocabulary: an ivory main border with diagonal sprig motifs, flanked by olive-gold and serrated guard stripes. The palette is rust-red, indigo blue, ivory, olive-gold, coral-pink and grey-green.
Condition
Very good condition.
Presence in the Room
At 137 × 183 cm (2.5 m²) this is a small format. Three settings in which it works well:
- Study or home office: beside or under a desk, where the geometric field can be looked at up close.
- Beside the bed or in an entryway: a warm accent in a transitional space.
- Layered over a larger floor rug: the tribal drawing works as an accent in interiors that mix modern and rustic elements.
