Heriz weaving has been recognised internationally for more than a century for its \u003cstrong\u003egeometric medallion vocabulary\u003c\/strong\u003e, the structural strength of the pile-on-cotton construction, and the saturated palette of vegetable-dyed highland wool. The school is known for a coarse but disciplined knot structure and a substantial, genuinely architectural weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted in the Azerbaijan region of northwestern Iran approximately \u003cstrong\u003e80 to 100 years ago\u003c\/strong\u003e, from \u003cstrong\u003e100% hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The pile stands at approximately 6 mm — reduced from its original height by a century of careful use, with the foundation reading through in places. The composition follows the classic Heriz vocabulary: a large stepped central medallion with pendants, ivory corner spandrels, and a geometricised floral field, framed by a deep indigo main border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is the classical Heriz signature, deepened by a century of life into a balanced, naturally aged register: a \u003cstrong\u003ebrick-red field\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the stepped medallion, with a \u003cstrong\u003edeep indigo-blue main border\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eivory corner spandrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. Accents of light blue, ochre-gold and soft rose run through the geometric drawing. The original saturations have settled into a calm, harmonised reading — the motifs read clearly while the overall tone feels lived-in rather than new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eThe Worn-to-Perfection Register\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug is offered as a \u003cstrong\u003eworn-to-perfection\u003c\/strong\u003e antique — the structural integrity is sound, with no holes or open seams, but the pile has been reduced by decades of careful use to the point where the foundation reads through in places.
