Antique Heriz Carpet

19th century
Description

A really stunning antique Heriz carpet woven around 1890-1900 with a rare and hard to find all over design. The vibrancy to the colours is wonderful, we have professionally washed this carpet and the colours have really cleaned up beautifully, a testament to the antique dyes.  For every 100 antique Heriz carpet's woven with a central medallion and bold corner spandrels, a few were woven with an all over pattern such as this piece.

We have a large scale border on this carpet, which is dark blue and works very well with the rich red/pinkish tone main field colour.  Lots of gorgeous pale blues, yellows, pinks and greens to showcase the leaves, vines, tendrils and flowers.  Antique Persian carpets were woven to bring the garden inside, this carpet embodies that idea so well.

In excellent original condition, the pile height is very good throughout. The original fringes and side selvedges are all secure too, this is ready for the floor and to be used for another 100 years.

Use our free, no obligation, home visit service to view this antique Heriz carpet in your own home. We love to travel all over the UK helping customers and interior designers source the perfect rug for a home.

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.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from Northwest Iran and are distinguished by their bold, geometric interpretations of classic floral designs. They typically feature a large central medallion, corner spandrels, and a heavy cotton warp that contributes to exceptional structural durability.

These carpets are hand-knotted using local wool pile woven onto a durable cotton foundation. The high copper content in the regional water supply near Mount Sabalan is historically credited with producing particularly resilient, high-grade wool dyed with natural plant extracts.

Authentic Heriz carpets display angular, rectilinear pattern work rather than curved floral lines, alongside a thick, firm weave. Examining the underside reveals visible asymmetrical or symmetrical knots and natural colour variation known as abrash throughout the pile.

Designers often position Heriz carpets as anchoring foundational pieces in modern or traditional spaces. Their rich terracotta tones and strong geometric patterns contrast effectively with contemporary minimalist furniture, dark oak antiques, or tailored upholstery.

Regular vacuuming without a rotating brush bar helps maintain the pile without disturbing the hand-knotted fibres. Professional cleaning should be undertaken by specialist rug restorers using gentle hand-washing techniques, avoiding chemical agents.
