Antique Heriz Persian Area Rug, Indigo Blue & Rust | Washable Reversed-Color Heritage Medallion

Bring bold, jewel-tone Persian elegance home with our Antique Heriz Persian Area Rug in Indigo Blue and Rust — a heirloom-inspired design with the classic Heriz palette beautifully reversed: a richly-saturated indigo blue field plays host to an ornate stepped-diamond medallion in cream, rust, and forest green, framed by a saturated rust-orange border alive with floral rosettes and palmettes. The reversed-color composition is one of the rarer and most-collected Heriz variants — a striking statement rug for designers who want heritage Persian character with a confident, contemporary attitude.

Available in 11 Sizes — From Entryway Mats to Oversized Living Rooms

Sizes range from a 2'x3' accent for an entry to a 9'7"x14' statement piece for an open-plan living room. Popular sizes include 5'x7', 6'x9', 8'x10', and 9'x12'. Runners are available up to 12 feet for hallways.

Why Machine Washable Rugs Work So Well

• Pet-friendly: Pet hair, mud, and accidents wash out — no professional cleaning needed.
• Kid-friendly: Spilled juice, paint, and food won't ruin it.
• Allergy-friendly: Regular washing removes dust, dander, and pollen.
• Lightweight: Easy to roll up, clean, and reposition.

Where This Rug Works Best

• Living rooms: Indigo and rust anchor leather, dark wood, and chesterfield-style furniture beautifully.
• Bedrooms: Saturated jewel tones create a romantic, layered retreat.
• Dining rooms: Bold Heriz character makes a centerpiece under wood or upholstered tables.
• Home offices & libraries: The rug of choice for collected, scholarly studies.
• Hallways & entryways: Saturated tones forgive everyday foot traffic with grace.

About the Antique Heriz Pattern

Heriz rugs come from a cluster of villages around the town of Heriz in northwestern Iran's East Azerbaijan province. Their hallmark is a strong geometric central medallion, anchored by spandrels and framed by a richly-detailed border. While the classic Heriz palette features a rust-red field with indigo border, weavers occasionally produced "reversed-color" pieces — indigo fields with rust borders — that have become especially sought-after for their dramatic, modern impact. This washable reproduction captures that rare collector character in a daily-life construction.
