Three bold red stepped medallions, each with a small navy center, stand out against a deep navy and black field, inside layered red and rust borders. The three medallions give this long rug a strong, steady rhythm. It is a 5x10 vintage Persian Heriz style rug in navy and red.
This vintage Persian rug was hand knotted around the 1960s by village weavers in Northwest Persia, in the bold geometric style of the Heriz region. It is made from 100% hand-spun wool, which gives it durability, a natural sheen and a rich feel underfoot. The angular floral motifs, stepped medallions and layered borders carry the symbolic language of generations of village weavers. Heriz style rugs are known for their large, angular medallions and for being among the most hard-wearing Persian village rugs.
At 5x10, it works as a wide runner in a hallway, a long entry or along a bed, or in a dining area. The navy, red and ivory palette pairs well with modern, rustic, bohemian and traditional rooms.
