This early 20th-century Persian Heriz floor carpet is a hand-woven woollen rug created in the Persian style around 1920. The piece displays a vibrant crimson red field, pale blue spandrels, and a contrasting navy blue multi-stripe border. The surface is decorated with a detailed central floral medallion, scrolling palmettes, and repetitive botanical motifs throughout the borders and field. The material is wool and cotton, shown here laid flat on a neutral surface with knotted fringed ends visible along the top and bottom edges. The palette includes rich red, deep blue, soft light blue, and pinkish tones, presenting a traditional design vibe suited for an English Country House interior. Measuring 0.2 cm high, 365 cm wide, and 181 cm deep, this large rectangular rug suits placement as a striking floor covering in a spacious living room, drawing room, or entrance hall. The hand-knotted pile and woven fringe show traditional craftsmanship typical of vintage Persian carpet production.

FAQs

Early 20th-century Persian rugs typically feature hand-knotted wool construction, natural dye palettes, and central floral medallions framed by elaborate multi-banded borders.

These carpets are hand-woven using pure wool pile knotted onto a cotton or wool warp and weft frame, providing structural durability and texture.

Authentic pieces exhibit clear design visibility on the underside, subtle variations in hand-bound edges, and integrated warp fringe ends.

Anchoring modern or traditional seating arrangements with a colourful Persian carpet introduces pattern, visual depth, and material warmth to contemporary spaces.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotary brush, rotate the carpet periodically to equalize wear, and utilize professional hand-washing services for deep cleaning.
