Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in northwest Iran and are known for their robust, geometric medallion designs and durable wool construction.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a cotton foundation, often incorporating natural vegetable dyes such as madder root and indigo.

Authenticity is assessed through the regularity of the knotting on the reverse, the use of natural dyes with characteristic abrash variations, and the specific geometric stylisation typical of the period.

The bold geometric patterns and rich colour palettes provide a strong grounding element that complements both contemporary minimalist schemes and traditional interior designs.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brushes, professional hand-cleaning as needed, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight to protect the dyes.
