Description

Intact pairs of antique Persian rugs are difficult to find. But a pair of Heriz rugs is almost unheard of. These charming rugs have an identical design, but the colours are slightly different. Nevertheless, they work very well together. Both have lovely soft wool and colours, and a very restrained design. Indeed they are a highly desirable item which would work well in any number of scenarios, including bedrooms and living areas. Cherished through the generations, they have survived in excellent condition. Professionally cleaned. Each measures 1.78m x 0.97m. They are available individually for £1300 each or together for £2500.

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.
