Rust and Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Area Rug - Traditional Heriz Design

This custom-made hand-knotted wool rug brings the timeless appeal of Heriz design—a style that has captivated Western rug enthusiasts for nearly 200 years. Featuring bold, geometric patterns with a distinctive design, the rust and blue color palette creates a warm aesthetic that ages beautifully over time. Perfect for living rooms, dining areas, and any space that benefits from statement-making traditional elegance.

• Hand-Knotted Wool Construction: Each knot is tied by hand from high-quality wool, ensuring authentic craftsmanship and individual character. Highland sheep wool provides distinctive features including high lanolin content for natural luster and stain resistance.
• Knot Density: 22 knots per square inch creates a relatively coarse weave intentionally designed for durability. In bold geometric designs, knot count is less important than in detailed florals, making this density ideal for the striking pattern of Heriz rugs.
• Traditional Heriz Pattern: Recognizable for its large medallion with oversized corner pieces and double or triple outlining, the design includes stylized florals like palmettes and leaves arranged in geometric patterns.
• Rust and Blue Color Palette: The bold blues and rust red colors with contrasting accents are instantly recognizable in Heriz design. These designs and colors bring warmth, style, and versatile decor elements that suit both traditional and modern interiors.
• Made to Order in 30-60 Days: This custom piece is handcrafted specifically for you, allowing for personalization while respecting the traditional time required for quality hand-knotting.
• Care Instructions: Vacuum regularly to preserve appearance; blot spills immediately with white cloth; avoid prolonged moisture exposure; use rug protectors under heavy furniture. Do not pull loose threads—trim with scissors instead. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect color and wool quality.

Heriz rugs are ideal for high-traffic areas due to their durable, hand-knotted construction and high knot density that makes them resistant to wear and tear. This region is known for producing some of the most durable Persian carpets in the world, with antique Heriz rugs from the 1880s remaining in active daily use today—rare for any 130-year-old textile. The combination of authentic wool and traditional weaving means your rug becomes more valuable and visually rich as it ages, making it a lasting investment in both beauty and function.
