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 rugs originate from Northwestern Iran and are renowned for their durable wool construction, bold geometric designs, and distinct central medallion motifs. Historically woven in village settings, these rugs feature stylized, angular interpretations of classic floral patterns.

Traditional Heriz rugs are hand-knotted using durable hand-spun wool pile woven onto a sturdy cotton warp and weft foundation. The thick wool pile and symmetrical Turkish knotting technique contribute to their exceptionally hard-wearing structure.

Authentic Heriz rugs can be identified by their distinctive angular, geometric patterns, bold central medallions, and thick wool pile. Examining the reverse side reveals slight variations in knot spacing and natural abrash colour shifts characteristic of hand weaving.

A Persian Heriz rug provides visual grounding in modern spaces when paired with contemporary minimalist furniture or tailored upholstery. Placing the rug beneath a seating arrangement or dining table adds warmth, texture, and historical contrast to contemporary flooring.

Regular maintenance involves gentle vacuuming without a rotating beater bar to prevent fibre damage, along with periodic rotation to ensure even wear. Professional dry rug cleaning and a quality underlay protect the wool pile and structural foundation over time.
