The Heriz runner has earned its place as one of the most collected Persian formats — and this example shows exactly why. Woven by hand in the Heriz weaving district of Iranian Azerbaijan, it features the characteristic stepped medallion and angular floral border that make Heriz rugs instantly recognizable. The bold geometry reads clearly even at runner proportions, making it as effective in a modern interior as a traditional one.

The wool pile is tight and resilient — Heriz weavers are known for producing rugs built to outlast furniture, floors, and fashion trends. Natural dyes give the palette a warmth and depth that synthetic colors cannot match, and the slight irregularities of hand-knotting make every piece genuinely one of a kind.

This runner is an ideal candidate for high-traffic areas: a hallway, a kitchen, or alongside a bed. Its proportions work equally well laid flat or used as a wall hanging.

Each rug at First Rugs is individually sourced — no two are alike. Natural variation in color, pile, and patina is part of what gives hand-knotted rugs their lasting character and investment value.
