Description

This vintage Persian Veece carpet is structured around a bold medallion composition, centered by an oversize hexagonal form flanked by double diamond finials in hook-and-latch relief. The geometry is assertive yet balanced, giving the carpet architectural presence without rigidity.

The main border features a pomegranate top-view meandering vine motif—symbolic of abundance and vitality—adding fluid movement around the strong central structure.

The palette is nuanced and layered: dusty denim blue and powder blue softened by ivory and beige, punctuated with pale rose, madder root red, and ruby red grapefruit. Abrash across the ground introduces tonal depth and gentle variation.

Feyz is a grounding foundation piece—large in scale, confident in structure, yet softened by its expressive color transitions.

History

Veece rugs are woven in northwestern Persia and are closely related to Heriz and neighboring village traditions, known for bold medallions and durable wool construction.

By the mid-20th century, Veece carpets frequently featured large-scale geometric medallions framed by symbolic botanical borders, blending tribal strength with workshop precision.

Vintage Veece carpets from the 1950s are prized for their substantial presence, architectural clarity, and approachable versatility in both traditional and modern interiors.

About the Name

Feyz means “grace” in Persian, derived from the Arabic فئض (faʾiḍ), meaning “abundance” or “overflow,” from the root فاض (fāḍa), meaning “to overflow” or “to flood.”

The expansive hexagonal medallion and flowing pomegranate vine border reflect this idea of abundance—structured energy contained within rhythmic repetition.

Feyz is a piece defined by strength and generosity—architectural in composition, yet expressive in tone and symbolism.

ORIGIN STORY

The Veece Collection

Feyz is a vintage Veece rug distinguished by bold hexagonal medallions, strong geometric articulation, and northwestern Persian durability. Woven near the Heriz region, Veece carpets share structural clarity and robust wool foundations while often featuring more expansive medallions and rhythmic botanical borders.

Veece rugs are celebrated for their architectural presence—oversized center medallions, hook-and-latch detailing, and symbolic vine borders that balance structure with movement. Their palettes often blend saturated reds and blues with softened neutrals and abrash, giving each piece tonal depth without heaviness. Confident yet adaptable, Veece carpets anchor interiors with strength, scale, and enduring character.
