FAQs

An antique Heriz rug is a hand-knotted carpet traditionally produced in the Heris region of north-west Iran, known for its durable construction and distinctive geometric medallion designs.

These rugs are typically constructed with a sturdy cotton foundation and dense wool pile, hand-knotted using Turkish or symmetrical knots, and dyed with natural vegetable colorants.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool with natural variations in colour, asymmetrical knotting on the reverse, heavy geometric motifs, and a characteristically robust, stiff handle due to their cotton warp and weft.

An antique Heriz rug provides a grounding anchor in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture, clean architectural lines, and neutral upholstery to highlight its rich colours and geometric patterns.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in textile conservation, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to protect the natural dyes.
