This antique handwoven rug with the authentic medallion-and-corner design, measuring 146 × 196 cm (4'9" × 6'5") with an area of 2.87 m² (30.90 ft²), is a magnificent representative of the Heris school of carpet weaving—a tradition that boldly unites geometric strength with daring color expression. Against the deep navy-blue ground, the geometric motifs of the medallion and corners emerge prominently. This design, while inspired by traditional Persian carpet forms, expresses itself through geometry rooted in the nomadic culture and architecture of the region. The madder-red border provides a masterful contrast, reinforcing the visual frame with solidity and enhancing the overall allure of the rug. The use of wool for the weft combined with cotton warp forms a durable and resilient structure, a hallmark of Heris carpets. With a weaving density of about 1,800 knots/dm², the rug is coarsely knotted, yet perfectly aligned with the distinctive style of Heris, where emphasis is placed on durability, rustic identity, and bold visual presence.
