Persian Heriz Rust Medallion Rug — 8×10 ft

The Persian Heriz Rust Medallion Rug — 8×10 ft is a hand-knotted heirloom from Heriz, Iran. Built knot-by-knot from hand-spun wool, with a finished pile dense enough to feel substantial under bare feet and a back fine enough to drape over a banister.

What you're getting

• Construction: 100% hand-knotted by skilled weavers — no power loom, no synthetic backing, no glue.
• Material: hand-spun wool, naturally lanolin-rich, with the soft hand only locally sourced fleece can produce.
• Size: 8 x 10 ft (244 x 305 cm).
• Origin: Heriz, Iran.
• Pile: medium, with the durability profile of a rug built to last 80–100 years in residential use.

Where to put it

This rug sits beautifully under a sofa with the front legs of every seat resting on it, anchoring a living room arrangement. In a bedroom, place it under the bed extending at least 18 inches past the foot and on each side — the first thing your feet touch in the morning will feel like a small luxury.

How to care for it

Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off. Spot-blot spills with cold water and a fragrance-free dish soap solution; never rub. Professional cleaning every 24–36 months keeps the wool bright and the pile lofted. See our complete wool rug care guide for the full routine.
