Heriz Rugs Collection

The Heriz Legacy: Bold Geometry, Mountain Wool, and a Room-Defining Presence

Heriz rugs are the confident architectural lines of the rug world—born in the rugged mountains of Northwest Persia, where crisp air, highland pastures, and generations of village weaving created a style that feels both primal and perfectly composed. Traditionally woven in and around the Heriz region (including renowned villages like Serapi), these rugs became famous for their powerful central medallions, angular corner spandrels, and a graphic geometry that reads beautifully from across a room. They were built for real life: resilient wool, sturdy structure, and patterns that hide the everyday while still elevating the space.

Designers love Heriz because it balances two worlds. It carries the romance of old Persia—handmade irregularities, vegetable-dyed warmth, and lively motif variations—yet it looks strikingly modern when paired with clean-lined furniture, plaster walls, and contemporary art. A classic Heriz palette often leans earthy and grounded—brick reds, warm tans, navy, slate greens—making it a natural anchor for living rooms, libraries, dining rooms, and grand entries. In open-plan homes, an oversize Heriz doesn’t just fill space; it organizes it, giving your layout an intentional “center of gravity.”

This collection gathers that unmistakable Heriz energy: pieces with presence, durability, and a tailored sense of tradition—rugs that feel like they’ve always belonged in the room, even on day one.

Persian Heriz brown with rust and charcoal accents tribal oversize antique rug with geometric panels, floral sprays, and stylized animal motifs SKU 96887

SKU 96887 is what happens when an antique Heriz is given the scale to command an entire architecture. The warm tan ground reads like sunlit stone—softened by time—while clay and rust notes add the kind of mineral warmth that makes leather, walnut, and burnished brass feel inevitable. Up close, the personality is even richer: angular shrubs, stylized trees, small floral clusters, and abstract animal figures move through the field like a private mythology—quietly narrative, never busy for the sake of it.

This is the rug for a great room that needs a single, assured gesture. It doesn’t shout; it stabilizes. The geometry has a measured cadence, giving contemporary spaces structure and traditional rooms a sense of gravitas. In a library or dining room, it turns empty square footage into something ceremonial—an invitation to slow down, gather, and stay.

Persian Heriz brown with sage and ivory traditional area antique rug with stacked geometric medallions, animal motifs, and star-flower borders SKU 96915

SKU 96915 is the kind of Heriz that feels cultivated rather than staged—an antique with a slate-green cast that immediately reads “collected.” The field mixes sage and silvery tones like weathered olive wood and aged linen, while the stacked stepped medallions introduce a rhythmic, architectural backbone. Hooked polygons and tribal figures appear and disappear through the pattern, giving the rug a quiet liveliness that makes a room feel inhabited.

This piece is especially strong in spaces that crave softness without losing structure. In a living room, it plays beautifully against creamy upholstery and natural oak; in a bedroom, it adds depth underfoot while keeping the palette calm and restorative. The geometry stays true to Heriz tradition, but the color story feels unusually nuanced—perfect for pairing with stone, plaster, boucle, or even minimalist furnishings where you want the rug to supply the “soul.”

• Color Band: Slate Green, Sage, Silver, Ivory
• Size Band: Large (approx. 9’8″ x 6’9″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Antique Persian Heriz, Geometric Medallion

Persian Heriz red with navy, ivory, and light blue accents, traditional antique area rug with geometric allover motifs, stylized floral palmettes, and angular vine design SKU 69512

SKU 69512 carries the classic Heriz drama—marsala red with crisp cerulean—yet it wears it with a sophisticated, tailored density. The field is richly worked: angular palmettes, serrated leaves, hooked blossoms, and lattice-like vine tendrils create a tapestry of geometry that feels almost textile-forward, like a couture fabric translated into wool. This is a rug that brings warmth without becoming heavy, thanks to the lifted blue notes and ivory punctuation.

In a dining room, it’s exceptional: the red ground flatters wood tones and candlelight, while the patterning forgives chair movement and daily life. In a living room, it becomes the anchor that makes everything else look intentional—especially if you’re mixing eras (mid-century lines with antiques, modern art with traditional detailing). It’s a “true Heriz” personality: confident, durable, and endlessly livable.

• Color Band: Marsala Red, Navy, Cerulean, Ivory
• Size Band: Large (approx. 9’4″ x 6’7″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Antique Persian Heriz, Tribal-Geometric Allover
• Use Case: Dining room, living room, study, entry hall
• Designer Tip: Pair with a neutral sofa and add one cerulean accent (art, pillow, or vase) to make the blues feel deliberate.

Persian Heriz tan with teal and ivory accents, traditional antique area rug with central medallion, geometric palmettes, and floral allover motifs SKU 10949

SKU 10949 is a warm-neutral Heriz with a designer’s kind of restraint. The sand-beige field gives you that coveted “antique neutral” foundation—never flat, always dimensional—while forest/teal notes carve the geometry into view. A central medallion anchors the composition, surrounded by angular palmettes and hooked vinework that feel both ornamental and graphic.

This rug shines in rooms where you want pattern, but not visual noise. Think of it as the bridge between traditional craft and contemporary calm. Under a sectional, it keeps the room light while still delivering character; in a bedroom, it reads like a grounded, sophisticated layer that makes linens feel richer. The palette is also a gift for renovation projects: it pairs easily with warm whites, mushroom walls, unlacquered brass, and natural stone. It’s the kind of piece that makes a newly finished space feel instantly “lived-in,” in the best possible way.

• Color Band: Sand Beige, Teal/Forest Green, Ivory
• Size Band: Large (approx. 10’1″ x 6’7″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Antique Persian Heriz, Traditional Medallion
• Use Case: Living room, bedroom, dining room, study
• Designer Tip: Add texture (boucle, linen, oak) rather than more pattern—this Heriz already brings the visual architecture.

Persian Heriz brown with rust and light blue traditional oversize palace antique rug with geometric central medallion, angular floral motifs, and star border SKU 96745

SKU 96745 is an oversize “palace” Heriz with a commanding, formal rhythm. The brown-granite ground is deep and grounding—like aged wood or leather—while light blue accents open the palette, giving it a lifted, almost airy counterpoint. At its heart, the stepped central medallion reads like a piece of architecture laid flat: measured, symmetrical, and powerfully graphic. Border star devices and lattice tracery add ceremony without taking away from the clarity of the field.

This rug is made for rooms that need scale and authority: grand hallways, formal sitting rooms, executive offices, and dining spaces that can finally feel proportioned once the right foundation is in place. If you love a traditional home with paneling, built-ins, and layered antiques, this piece will look like it has always been part of the property. If you’re in a modern space, it plays the role of “historic counterbalance,” bringing soul to minimalist volumes.

• Color Band: Brown Granite, Rust, Light Blue
• Size Band: Oversize/Palace (approx. 16’1″ x 11’6″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Antique Persian Heriz, Geometric Medallion
• Use Case: Formal living, grand hallway, dining room, executive office
• Designer Tip: Let the light blue breathe—repeat it subtly in art or a single textile, not everywhere.

Persian Heriz navy blue with rust and light blue traditional oversize area contemporary rug with large central medallion, geometric palmettes, and stylized floral vines SKU 10359

SKU 10359 takes the Heriz blueprint and turns up the contrast: a dark navy ground with terracotta energy, scaled for a true statement room. The central medallion feels bold and cinematic, surrounded by angular vines and stylized palmettes that keep the composition taut and structured. Because the ground is deep, the pattern reads with exceptional clarity—like ink on paper—making it an ideal choice when you want the rug to feel crisp rather than faded.

This is a modern classic for high-impact interiors: a formal living room with sculptural seating, a dining room with lacquer or dark wood, or a grand entry where you want immediate drama. The navy also plays surprisingly well with contemporary neutrals—oatmeal, cream, warm gray—while terracotta accents echo natural clay, brick, and sunbaked stone. It’s a rug that looks intentional the second it lands, as though the room was designed around it.

• Color Band: Dark Navy, Terracotta, Light Blue
• Size Band: Oversize/Palace (approx. 14’7″ x 11’4″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Contemporary Persian Heriz, Geometric-Medallion Traditional
• Use Case: Formal living room, large dining room, grand entry, great room
• Designer Tip: If your walls are light, this navy creates gallery-like framing—choose art with warm undertones to connect to the terracotta.

Persian Heriz beige with light blue and cream accents, traditional antique gallery runner with multiple central medallions, floral and geometric motifs, and tribal border pattern SKU 75793

SKU 75793 is a Heriz runner with a gallery-like elegance—long, rhythmic, and quietly luxurious. Its parchment-tan field feels like aged paper, warmed by time, while pale sky blues keep the corridor from feeling heavy. The repeated medallion sequence creates a natural “walkway” effect, guiding the eye forward in a way that makes hallways and transitions feel intentional rather than leftover space.

What makes this runner special is how it handles light: it brightens narrow areas while still offering enough pattern density to be practical. In an entry corridor, it welcomes guests with timeless craft; in a long kitchen or back hall, it adds refinement without feeling precious. It’s also an ideal piece for homes that mix old and new—this runner reads as authentic and architectural, a design layer that quietly upgrades whatever surrounds it.

• Color Band: Light Tan, Pale Sky Blue, Cream
• Size Band: Gallery Runner (approx. 14’2″ x 3’4″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Antique Persian Heriz Runner, Tribal-Geometric
• Use Case: Hallway, entry corridor, gallery passage, walk-through living zone
• Designer Tip: In a hallway, keep runner margins even on both sides—symmetry amplifies the Heriz geometry.

Persian Heriz rust with navy and teal accents, traditional oversize palace antique area rug with floral allover and stylized angular leafy motifs SKU 88800

SKU 88800 is a palace-scale antique Heriz with a rare kind of saturation—burnt orange that feels like glowing embers, cooled by dark navy structure. Its allover field is densely ornamented with serrated leaf vines and angular rosettes, creating a textile-like richness that performs beautifully in large rooms where smaller patterns disappear. This rug doesn’t simply cover floor; it creates atmosphere—warm, enveloping, and undeniably grand.

Because it’s an allover design, it’s extremely forgiving with furniture placement. You can float seating, shift dining layouts, or style a great room in zones without losing the rug’s visual coherence. The navy detailing helps the orange feel sophisticated rather than loud, especially when paired with creamy upholstery, walnut casegoods, and a touch of blackened metal. If you want a room to feel collected, historic, and confident, this is a foundational piece.

• Color Band: Burnt Orange/Rust, Dark Navy, Teal Nuances
• Size Band: Oversize/Palace (approx. 13’6″ x 9’9″)
• Price Band: Premium
• Style: Antique Persian Heriz, Tribal-Allover Decorative
• Use Case: Great room, living room, dining room, library, gallery space
• Designer Tip: Balance the warmth with cooler neutrals—stone, plaster, and ivory textiles keep the rust feeling elevated.
