Description

Occasionally, I will discover an antique carpet with exquisite dyes and design that engenders happiness. This Heriz carpet is a fine example. From the terracotta field through all the secondary colours including the light blues, yellows, pinks and greens, the dyes are perfectly harmonious and charming. The classic design has also been rendered perfectly with great balance. Note the fine sapphire blue stylised floral border, unusually wide for a carpet of this size, which frames the composition. Furthermore, it has the bonus of being in a small carpet size which one rarely sees. One can imagine it enhancing any number of settings, both traditional and modern. Cherished through the generations, it has survived very well, with good robust pile typical of Heriz weavings. Professionally cleaned.

FAQs

Heriz carpets are hand-knotted rugs traditionally produced in the Heris district of North-West Persia, known for their durable cotton foundations, heavy wool piles, and bold, geometric medallion designs.

These carpets typically feature a thick, hand-spun wool pile knotted onto a sturdy cotton foundation, utilizing asymmetric knots and natural vegetable dyes.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the density and irregularity of the hand-knotting, the natural abrash variations in the vegetable dyes, the characteristic sturdy handle, and the traditional geometric corner spandrels and central medallion motifs.

An antique Heriz carpet anchors contemporary living spaces, studies, or dining rooms by providing rich colour, texture, and historical contrast against minimalist furniture and neutral architectural backdrops.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional hand washing every few years, immediate blotting of spills, and the use of a breathable rug underlay to prevent friction and slippage.
