Vintage Heriz Carpet 351x250cm

This vintage Ahar Heriz carpet is a fine representation of Northwest Persian weaving, blending bold design with balanced elegance. Woven in the village of Ahar—part of the Heriz weaving region—this piece combines the powerful central medallion layout typical of Heriz rugs with slightly softer lines and more stylised floral accents.

The field is a soft, warm red, setting a rich foundation for the striking central medallion, which is classic in its bold symmetry and tribal character. Surrounding the medallion are graceful, stylised leaves and characterful cream spandrels that create contrast and add an airy quality to the composition.

Framing the field is a deep blue border filled with an engaging mix of small flower heads and large stylised floral motifs, all arranged with rhythm and care. This border brings the entire design together with sophistication and subtle drama.

Woven from durable wool and naturally dyed, this carpet is both resilient and decorative, ideal for everyday use in living rooms, dining spaces, or studies. It’s a rug that has presence—a piece that lifts and defines a room.
