Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing when needed, rotation to ensure even wear, and the use of a breathable underlay.

An antique runner grounds modern or minimalist spaces by introducing rich texture, heritage color palettes, and graphic geometric patterns that contrast effectively with contemporary architectural lines.

Authentication involves examining the knot density on the reverse, checking for natural dye variations, identifying characteristic geometric medallion motifs, and assessing the wear patterns of hand-spun wool.

Authentic pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using locally sourced wool pile on a cotton or wool foundation, often dyed with natural vegetable colorants such as madder root and indigo.

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in the Azerbaijan province of Iran, known for producing durable and distinctive hand-knotted rugs featuring bold, geometric medallion designs.
