Description

When choosing a carpet for your decorative scheme, it is important to select something with positive energy. I believe this lovely antique Heriz carpet has that energy. A quick glance at it is enough to make one happy. The colours are all delightful, from the background in subtle hues of terracotta, to the edible light blues, greens, yellows and sapphire blue. All the colours are spot-on in terms of dyeing technique and their combinations. Add to that the delightful drawing of the 'Harshang' design in the field, a repeat pattern of angular palmettes in different sizes and shades with other scattered stylised floral ornaments, and you have a seriously attractive carpet. The lovely sapphire blue border frames the field beautifully and is decorated with a repeating stylised floral design. The carpet feels both elegant and informal at the same time, traditional and very contemporary. This is the magic of the best antique Persian carpets woven with handspun wool and natural dyes. This piece is in a useful furnishing size. It has been professionally cleaned and is ready for immediate use.

Date of Manufacture

FAQs

Heriz carpets are hand-knotted rugs originating from the Heris region in north-west Persia, historically produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries by village weavers known for robust, durable construction and distinctive geometric medallion designs.

These carpets typically feature hand-spun wool pile woven onto a cotton foundation using symmetrical Turkish knots, often utilizing natural vegetable dyes derived from madder root, indigo, and plant extracts.

Authentic pieces display heavy-duty wool with high lanolin content, characteristic large-scale geometric central medallions, corner spandrels, and subtle colour variations known as abrash resulting from batch-dyed yarn.

An antique carpet can anchor a contemporary living space by providing a contrasting layer of texture and rich colour history beneath minimalist or mid-century modern furniture.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brush heads, professional hand-washing by specialists every few years, and avoiding direct sunlight exposure to protect natural dyes.
