Indeed they are a highly desirable item which would work well in any number of scenarios, including bedrooms and living areas.

They are available individually for £1300 each or together for £2500.

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.

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 rugs are traditionally woven in the Azerbaijan region of north-west Iran, known for producing durable, large-scale geometric carpets favoured for their resilience and striking medallion designs.

Authentic antique Heriz carpets are typically constructed with a sturdy cotton foundation and hand-spun wool pile, frequently dyed using natural vegetable colours such as madder root and indigo.

Authenticity is determined by examining the knot density on the reverse, the presence of natural abrash colour variations in the wool, the use of characteristic geometric anchor medallions, and traditional cotton warps.

These carpets provide warmth and grounded contrast in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture, natural wood floors, and neutral upholstery to highlight their intricate motifs.

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