276 X 370cm Antique Heriz Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

Tonally perfect! All colours are beautifully balanced and individually beautiful. What a great red, with singing yellows, light blue and green, I love this carpet! Made over 100 years ago in North West Persia, it is a timeless expression of artistry that will never go out of fashion. Showing light wear but absolutely strong for the floor and could easily go for another 100 years- underlay recommended.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Horizontal dye changes across the terracotta ground: yarn dyed in small vegetable batches.
Hand-tied knots visible on the reverse: traditional weaving before machine-made imports.
Angular leaf motifs and dark blue turtle border: classic Northwest Persian village design.
Gently mellowed wool pile: decades of domestic foot traffic.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This traditional Persian Heriz carpet is an antique hand-knotted wool and cotton floor covering made in North West Persia around 1900. The piece displays a rust red ground colour complemented by navy blue, muted green, and singing yellow tones, along with visible light wear appropriate for its age. The design comprises a prominent central geometric medallion, angular corner spandrels, a composite floral border, and symmetrical framing. Measuring 370 cm high by 276 cm wide, the carpet is strong for floor placement in an English country house setting, where it works well beneath furniture in a living room, dining room, or library with an underlay recommended for protection.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from the Northwest region of Iran and are characterised by bold, geometric rectilinear designs, prominent central medallions, and durable wool construction.

These carpets are hand-knotted using local wool pile hand-spun over a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with traditional natural dyes.

Authentic Heriz carpets feature a coarse knot density with stiff, heavy foundations, distinct angular geometric motifs, and rich vegetable-dyed palettes often featuring terracotta and indigo tones.

Position the carpet as a foundational anchor in a living room or dining area to add texture, warmth, and grounding geometric pattern alongside contemporary or period furnishings.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating brush bar, rotate the piece periodically to ensure even wear, and blot spills immediately with cold water and a clean cloth.
