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.

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in Northwest Iran, near Mount Sabalan. Woven predominantly by village weavers during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, these carpets are celebrated for their bold, rectilinear interpretations of classic Persian medallion designs.

Heriz rugs are constructed with hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. They utilise symmetrical (Turkish or Ghiordes) knots, resulting in a thick, durable weave suitable for high-traffic areas.

Authentic Heriz carpets are identified by their distinct geometric, angular floral designs, prominent central star-shaped medallions, and corner spandrels. They feature robust, coarse weaves and a characteristic palette of terracotta red, navy blue, light blue, and ivory derived from natural plant dyes.

A large Heriz carpet acts as an anchor in a living or dining space, grounding minimalist or contemporary furniture with rich texture and historical depth. The bold geometric patterns contrast effectively against neutral walls, timber flooring, and clean architectural lines.

Regular maintenance requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the wool fibres. Promptly blot spills with cold water and a neutral soap, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and arrange professional hand-washing periodically.
