This Persian Heriz runner carpet dates from around 1900 and exhibits an angular double lozenge design. The textile is hand-woven from wool and cotton, displaying a colour palette of rich red, warm ivory, olive and indigo. Key visual elements include geometric ivory medallions, stylised floral motifs, rectilinear palmettes, and a multi-coloured stepped border motif. Visible details comprise an even pile and intact selvedges, with no significant signs of wear or repair. Measuring 251 cm by 116 cm, this runner suits placement in a hallway, corridor, or along a gallery space within an English Country House interior. It rests flat on the floor to provide warmth and visual interest to foot traffic areas.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from the Heriz region in Northwest Iran, renowned for geometric medallions, bold angular motifs, and durable hand-knotted construction suited to corridors and high-traffic areas.

Authentic Heriz runners feature hand-spun wool pile woven onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic Heriz rugs are recognised by their distinct geometric and rectilinear designs, coarse symmetrical knotting, thick wool pile, and palette derived from natural dyes.

A Heriz runner introduces warmth, pattern, and historical narrative when positioned in contemporary hallways, long entryways, or placed over neutral timber flooring to contrast clean architectural lines.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar, prompt spot cleaning using cold water, and periodic professional specialist cleaning preserve the structural integrity and natural wool fibres.
