Description

Heriz carpets are one of the most popular of antique Persian carpets and for very good reasons. The superb handspun wool quality and natural dyes create a wonderful range of both subtle and colourful colours which appeal to those decorating in either traditional and contemporary styles. The bold geometric designs are also very appealing. This lovely carpet is a fine example. Woven towards the end of the 19th century, all the colours are natural. The central anchor medallion is very impressive and draws the viewer in through its layers until one reaches the central point. The rest of the field is decorated with stylised leaves and flowers drawn in very graphic styles with bold colours that create a very strong impression. Note too the ivory corner elements, called 'spandrels', again very eye-catching with more colourful imagery. In contrast, the midnight blue border is very subtle with a design of repeating stylised palmettes and meandering vines. Its a delightful composition which could work in so many settings. The sturdy structure has survived in good condition with very minor signs of wear and no repairs. The selvages and ends are original and intact.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Heriz Carpet to the 1900s.

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in northwest Iran, known for producing durable, large-scale room-size floor coverings featuring prominent central medallion designs and angular geometric motifs.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted using durable hand-spun wool pile on cotton foundations, often dyed with natural vegetable dyes that yield rich terracotta, indigo, and ivory tones.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular hand-knotted weave on the reverse, natural variations in vegetable dye colours, sturdy wool quality, and traditional asymmetrical geometric patterns characteristic of the region.

A large-scale traditional rug anchors modern minimalist or transitional spaces by introducing rich colour, texture, and historical contrast beneath clean-lined furniture and neutral upholstery.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional specialist washing when needed, keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a quality underlay.
