Antique Heriz Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

A really fabulous decorative Antique Heriz carpet with superb colours and in great condition.  The pile is excellent, very soft and dense.  Professionally cleaned and ready to be used on the floor.  We will also supply complimentary underlay with any carpet purchased from us if required.

If you you would like to view this antique carpet up close, please do request a home visit, you can select the ideal day and time for us to visit you.  A free, no obligation service we have offered for over 30 years.  Or book in a visit to our barn showroom soon, we make great coffee and would love to help you.

Heriz carpets come from the North-West of Persia and no two are ever the same.  Designs will always vary, depending on the age and what the weavers decided to do at the time.  Generally they are geometric patterns of stylised floral motifs, with eight-pointed star medallions.  Earlier examples from the late 19th century were often more open in design, still bearing geometric patterns, but in general softer colours too.  These can be known as Serapi carpets dating from the mid to late 19th century.  Younger pieces, tended to have more pattern and follow this format of central medallion and interesting corner designs.  You can find more scrolling, curvilinear rare all over designs too.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from East Azerbaijan in Northwest Iran and are known for their distinct geometric design language. Unlike urban Persian carpets with fluid curvilinear motifs, Heriz weavings feature stylized palmettes, angular vines, and bold central medallions woven by village artisan weavers.

Traditional Heriz carpets feature a durable hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a strong cotton warp and weft foundation. The wool is dyed using vegetable and mineral-derived pigments, creating varied tonal shades across the surface.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted Turkish (Ghiordes) knots, an uneven back texture characteristic of handloom production, and slight colour variations known as abrash. The field designs feature angular, rectilinear interpretations of classical floral patterns.

A geometric Heriz carpet anchors a room by offering rich colour and pattern contrasting against modern minimalist furniture, dark timber floorboards, or traditional upholstery.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush head removes loose dust, while periodic rotation prevents uneven wear and light fading. Professional specialist dry cleaning is recommended for deep maintenance.
