FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in north-west Iran, renowned for producing exceptionally durable and hard-wearing village carpets characterised by bold geometric medallion designs.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on cotton foundations, often incorporating natural vegetable dyes such as madder root and indigo.

Authentic pieces typically feature a coarse, sturdy weave with a prominent geometric central medallion, corner spandrels, and subtle colour variations known as abrash resulting from variable dye batches.

This type of rug anchors contemporary or transitional living spaces by providing a rich grounding layer of pattern and colour, contrasting effectively against minimalist furniture and neutral walls.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brushes, professional hand-washing by specialists every few years, and the use of a breathable underlay to prevent sliding and friction.
