1900 - 1920
Description

An attractive antique Heriz rug with a camel toned background more often seen on Bakshaish rugs with pale blues and soft reds, we can even see some rare greens too. Heriz carpets and rugs were woven in the north west of Persia with hand spun wool and natural dyes. This rug has been woven with all natural dyes typical of this area from this period, around 1890-1900.  In good original condition all over, a lovely antique rug to brighten a floor and room.

Antique Heriz rugs and carpets are know as the 'Iron rugs of Persia' as they are extremely tough being made using good quality wool in the north-west of Persia. Madder red and indigo blue dyes are the most common colours you associate with Heriz weavings.

This antique Persian Heriz rug dates from 1900 and is made from wool and cotton with natural madder red, indigo blue, cream, pale blue, soft red, and rare green dyes. The pile is hand-knotted in a traditional style with three geometric stepped diamond medallions, a detailed tribal border, and stylised floral motifs. The piece measures 155 cm high, 92 cm wide, and 2 cm deep, presenting a low profile typical of hand-knotted room carpets. It displays an overall good original condition with soft wear appropriate for its age. Placed upon a floor in a traditional country house interior or living space, it brings warmth, texture, and historical pattern to a room layout.

FAQs

Heriz rugs originate from the Heriz region in Northwest Iran, near Mount Sabalan. Woven by village craftspeople, these carpets became prominent in the nineteenth century, celebrated for their bold, rectilinear interpretations of classic city carpet designs.

Heriz rugs are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile on a strong cotton warp and weft foundation. They feature symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knots, creating a dense, durable weave capable of withstanding heavy foot traffic.

Authentic pieces display large geometric stepped medallions, sharp angular lines, and rich vegetable-dyed wool in shades of madder red, indigo blue, and ivory. The back of the rug shows clear, slightly coarse hand-knotted weave patterns consistent with regional production.

A Heriz rug adds texture and historical warmth to modern spaces when paired with clean-lined timber furniture or neutral upholstery. Laying the rug over polished concrete or hardwood flooring allows its geometric pattern to serve as a focal anchor.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the wool fibers. Promptly blot liquid spills with a clean cloth, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and use professional wool-safe cleaning services when necessary.
