Embellished with glistening stones and sequins, the tapestry twinkles with a subtle yet mesmerizing shimmer.

Inspired by classic Heriz carpets of 19th-century Persia, our wool rug's hand-knotted design features three bold medallions framed by graceful, intertwining vines and a wide, floral geometric border. Overdying gives depth and nuance to the palette of green, turquoise, brown and beige, while lending this rug the unique character of an antique. Hand knotted from yarn-dyed wool for plush texture and enduring color. Sheared to a dense, medium pile (15 knots per sq. inch). Fringeless. We recommend our Heavyweight Rug Pad with this style; our latex-backed pad (sold separately) can be trimmed to fit exact rug dimensions. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, all sizes and colors may vary.
