Persian Heriz Style Hand-Knotted area rug

This is a large rectangular hand-knotted wool area rug, likely a Persian Heriz style or Serapi-inspired piece, characterized by its bold geometric patterns and vibrant color palette. The rug features a dominant brick-red or terracotta field decorated with a repeat 'all-over' floral and geometric motif. It is enclosed by a wide, contrasting midnight-blue main border containing alternating large rosettes and stylized floral elements in cream, gold, and light blue. The construction appears to be high-quality wool pile on a cotton foundation, indicated by the visible light-colored fringe at the ends. Regarding condition, the rug shows signs of moderate wear consistent with age, particularly along the edges where the binding may be loosening. There are visible creases across the surface suggesting it has been folded or moved recently, and some areas of uneven pile height may indicate high-traffic use. The fringe is slightly frayed but mostly intact. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century origin, showcasing the traditional weaving techniques of Azerbaijan province in Northwest Iran. The dyeing appears consistent, though there may be minor abrash (natural color variations) throughout the red field, which is often a sign of authentic hand-dyed wool.
