Vintage Persian Handmade Rugs – Authentic & Elegant

Tabriz Handmade Antique Heriz Design Carpet more than 90 years old

This exquisite Tabriz handmade carpet showcases the timeless Heriz design, a celebrated Persian pattern known for its bold geometric motifs and striking medallion composition. Meticulously hand-knotted by skilled artisans in Tabriz, one of Iran’s most renowned weaving centers, this piece reflects the harmony between traditional craftsmanship and artistic sophistication.

This antique carpet bears the graceful marks of time, with areas of gentle wear that speak to its long history and authentic character. The surface shows some fading and thinning in places, typical of handwoven pieces of this age, while the pile has softened beautifully over the years. These natural signs of age — slight fraying along the edges and subtle variations in color — add depth and personality, enhancing its vintage charm rather than detracting from it. Every worn thread reflects decades of use and care, making this piece not just a carpet, but a living witness to history

Woven from the finest natural wool (and often silk highlights), it boasts rich, enduring colors achieved through vegetable dyes—deep reds, indigos, and ivory tones that age gracefully over time. The intricate border frames a central medallion, surrounded by stylized floral and angular motifs characteristic of the Heriz style, yet rendered with the refined precisiontypical of Tabriz weaving.

This antique carpet not only embodies centuries of Persian artistry but also serves as a collector’s piece—a perfect balance of durability, elegance, and historical charm. Whether displayed in a living space or curated as an heirloom, it brings warmth, prestige, and timeless beauty to any setting.
