Heriz rugs are hand-knotted carpets produced by craftsmen in and around the town of Heris in the Azerbaijan region of northwest Iran. Known for their durability and distinctive geometric medallion designs, these rugs have been crafted for centuries using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.

Authentic Heriz rugs are traditionally constructed with a sturdy cotton foundation for warp and weft, paired with a dense, hand-spun wool pile. The dyes used in older pieces are typically derived from natural sources such as madder root, walnut shells, and indigo plants, resulting in rich, nuanced colours that mellow gracefully over time.

Authentic pieces are identified by their characteristic heavy foundation, robust knotting, and signature geometric motifs featuring a prominent central medallion and stylized floral elements. Inspecting the back of the rug reveals irregularities typical of hand-knotted production, while the use of camel hair in the outline of the medallion is a common hallmark of older Heriz carpets.

An antique Heriz rug acts as a grounding anchor in contemporary living spaces, dining rooms, or libraries, offering a striking contrast to minimalist or modern furniture. Its rich palette of terracotta red, navy blue, and ivory complements both neutral colour schemes and leather upholstery, adding warmth, texture, and historical depth to a room.

Preserving an antique rug requires regular, gentle vacuuming without the use of a rotating beater bar to protect the wool pile and fringed ends. Professional cleaning by a specialist in antique textiles is recommended every few years, and rotating the rug periodically ensures even wear and sun exposure across the surface.
