Hand knotted in the Hamadan weaving region of northwestern Iran, this vintage wool carpet showcases a classic triple medallion design with three large diamond medallions arranged vertically across a rich red field. Each medallion is outlined in charcoal and filled with geometric cross motifs in gold, brown, and ivory, creating strong visual contrast and traditional tribal character. The field is enriched with a dense diagonal repeat of small leaf motifs in shades of red and deep brown, adding texture and depth throughout the composition. A decorative border featuring geometric pinwheel rosettes in red, navy, and gold frames the design without overwhelming its simplicity. Vegetable dyes lend warmth and richness to the red, charcoal, gold, and brown palette, which has matured beautifully over time. Vintage and in excellent condition with no low pile, stains, or damage, this hand knotted Persian rug has been professionally cleaned and restored and is ready for immediate use.

Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs originate from the mountainous villages surrounding Tabriz in northwestern Iran and are celebrated for their exceptional durability, bold geometric artistry, and enduring character. Woven from locally sourced wool naturally rich in lanolin, these hand-knotted rugs are prized for their resilience and ability to withstand generations of everyday use. Their most recognizable feature is the large angular medallion, often surrounded by stylized leaves, geometric motifs, and strong architectural forms that radiate across the field. Traditional Heriz rugs are typically rendered in rich shades of deep red, indigo, ivory, and earthy neutrals, creating a striking visual presence that balances tribal authenticity with timeless design. Admired for their robust construction and distinctive aesthetic, Heriz rugs remain among the most sought-after examples of Persian village weaving.
