Fine Hand-knotted Wool Gravan (Heriz) Persian Rug 261cm x 348cm

A hand-knotted Persian Heriz rug from northwest Iran, celebrated for its bold geometric design, rich colours, and exceptional durability. Each piece is woven using traditional techniques, with high-quality wool knotted onto a cotton or wool foundation.

Heriz rugs are known for their strong, structured patterns, often featuring large medallions, star motifs, and intricate geometric borders. The designs are bold yet balanced, with a traditional colour palette of deep reds, rich blues, and soft ivory tones.

These rugs feature a thick, durable wool pile, making them highly resistant to heavy use and ideal for everyday living spaces. Heriz rugs are considered among the most durable Persian rugs and are often kept for generations.

Beyond their strength and beauty, they carry a significant cultural heritage. The Heriz weaving tradition reflects centuries of craftsmanship from northwest Iran, combining tribal design influences with historical artistic evolution.
