Antique Persian Heriz Palatial Carpet, 13'04 x 18'05
Located in Dallas, TX
78765 Oversized Antique Persian Heriz Rug, 13'04 x 18'05. Oversized antique Persian Heriz rugs are a specific category of Heriz rugs crafted in larger-than-average dimensions, offering expansive coverage for grand interior spaces. Originating from the Heris region in northwest Iran, these rugs boast the distinctive rectilinear geometric designs and meticulous motif outlining characteristic of the Heriz style. Traditionally handcrafted from high-quality wool using age-old weaving techniques, oversized antique Persian Heriz rugs were often utilized in spacious rooms such as grand living areas, formal dining rooms, and ceremonial halls, where their impressive size and intricate designs could command attention and fill the space with warmth and elegance.
In this meticulously hand-knotted wool oversized antique Persian Heriz rug, timeless sophistication intertwines with enduring elegance, presenting a grandeur masterpiece that embodies the durability inherent in Heriz carpets. Crafted from high-quality wool sourced from sheep grazing on the copper-enriched pastures of Mount Sabalan, this Persian Heriz rug stands as a contemporary heirloom, echoing the robustness of 19th-century examples often auctioned by prestigious houses in the United States and Europe.
Within the expanse of this large room-sized Heriz rug, perpetually posh aesthetics blend seamlessly with preppy Ivy League formality, creating a captivating visual symphony. At the heart of the design lies a superimposed prominent octofoil medallion, anchored with flaming palmette pendants at either end, commanding attention on an abrashed red field. Surrounding this focal point are an array of serrated leaves, angular buds, stylized florals, curved sickle leaves, rosettes, and ambiguous tribal motifs, each element dancing harmoniously to infuse the fabric with a touch of mystique.
Enhancing the rug's visual complexity are the bold earth-tone colors, characteristic of Heriz rugs, while the ivory corner spandrels elegantly mirror the intricate designs within the field, creating an esoteric juxtaposition within the overall geometric pattern. Framing the composition is a Herati border, enclosed by double inner and outer floral meander guard borders, a testament to the rug's meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Reflecting both a traditional sensibility and a timeless expression of cultural pride, this antique Persian Heriz rug subtly evokes a sense of patriotism with its classic iterations of red, ivory, and navy blue. With its iconic styling and enduring elegance, this grandeur woven wonder radiates character and warmth, inviting you to immerse yourself in its storied legacy.
Rendered in variegated shades of red, blue, ivory, tan, navy blue, beige, cerulean, green, rose, sky blue, and verdigris with other accent colors.

Antique, New and Vintage Area Rugs and Carpets for Your Home
Antique, new and vintage area rugs and carpets are a simple way to add warmth and style to any space. Area rugs can be seasonal or changed with other decorative objects to refresh an interior. Carpet piles materials can vary from wool and cotton to silk and synthetic fibers, and the purpose of a floor covering can range from reducing noise to offering a place to sit.
Vintage rugs can ground a space, and arranging furniture around them creates a measured focal point. Key furniture pieces can be placed on the rug or just the legs, such as with furniture like coffee tables in your living room.
So, how can you tell if a rug is high quality or vintage?
The three main components that determine the quality of a piece are the dyes, the wool and the number of knots per square inch. Ultimately, however, if you want to be sure the rug you’re buying is truly an antique, it is best to consult an expert.
If you want a creative design that stands out, area rugs or carpets can provide layers of color. Rugs and carpets reflect a global heritage of textiles and weaving, such as ornately patterned Persian and Indian designs. Visually striking Chinese rugs can add a delicate touch of color, while modern rugs make a statement with their geometric patterns.
Turkish rugs, with their ruby reds and misted blues, their entwined botanical designs and rhythmic geometries, are as beloved today as they were in the 13th century. The West’s current infatuation with Moroccan and North African tribal rugs stretches to the mid-20th century, when modern furniture designers embraced bold geometric patterns and even bolder palettes as counterpoints to form-follows-function interiors. Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier were among the designers who used these rustic, natural rugs to offset austere interiors.
If you properly maintain your antique and vintage rugs, they will last for many years. When you’re thinking about how to clean a rug, it is important to keep in mind that your vacuum is not too harsh for your favorite floor covering. Frequent vacuuming is in fact necessary to remove everyday dirt that otherwise wears down the pile. Omri Schwartz of Nazmiyal does, however, stipulate that “it’s best to use an ordinary suction vacuum without bristles, as the bristles can damage the rug’s pile.” Rotating the carpet every couple of years is also recommended — it ensures that the rug gets even foot traffic.
On 1stDibs, find a vintage rug or carpet to add a layer of beauty and function to your room.
