Description

This is a stunning rustic antique Heriz carpet woven in the late 19th century with beautiful colours.  The pale blue corners are vibrant and lift the whole palette of warm terracotta brick tones and deep blue border.  Some wonderful green dyes can be seen too, golden yellows have been used too.  The border design is unusual to see on a Heriz, it is reminiscent of a Caucasian border design from Azerbaijan know as the crab border.  With the large floral motif in the centre and four geometric leaves protruding out from it.

It is getting increasingly rare to find antique Persian Heriz carpets of this high quality in such original condition.  Ideal for a drawing room, dining room, study or entrance hall, included in the price is our sturdy underlay, helping sit safely and flat on any floor type, enhancing its appearance too.  The wool pile is lush and in great order all over on this 130 year old stunning carpet.

Request a home visit to view this stunning antique Heriz carpet in the privacy of your own home. We travel all over the UK showing our carpets and rugs in-situ, a professional service we have offered for the last 30 years.

Book in a showroom visit if preferred, we are open Monday to Saturday 9.30-5.30pm by appointment.  As it is best to make a time to make sure someone is here to help you and show you this Heriz.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in north-west Persia and are renowned for their bold, geometric medallion designs and robust, durable construction.

Authentic antique Heriz carpets are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, utilizing natural vegetable dyes for their distinct colour palette.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular hand-knotted fringe, natural dye variations, asymmetrical weave patterns, and the sturdy, heavy handle of the wool.

An antique Heriz carpet serves as a strong focal point, grounding neutral modern furniture or adding warmth and historical contrast to minimalist spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without the beater bar, professional organic washing when necessary, and rotation to ensure even wear.
