This antique Persian Heriz carpet, dating from circa 1920, exemplifies traditional carpet-making craftsmanship in wool and cotton. The rectangular floor covering displays a rich terracotta red field set against corner cream spandrels and a classic dark navy blue border. A large geometric central medallion dominates the design, complemented by angular spandrels and a samovari motif border. The textile exhibits a medium pile with very even wear across the surface, presenting a substantial structure suitable for heavy domestic use. Measuring 390 cm high by 285 cm wide and 1 cm deep, the carpet provides significant floor coverage. In a modern domestic setting, the piece serves as a durable furnishing floor covering, suitable for placement in a principal reception room or a large living space to ground interior seating arrangements.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from northwestern Iran and are recognised for their bold geometric medallions, angular motifs, vibrant natural dyes, and exceptionally durable construction.

These carpets are hand-knotted using coarse, durable wool pile spun onto a strong cotton warp and weft foundation, often dyed with plant and mineral pigments.

Authentic pieces feature rectilinear central medallions, spandrels, Turkish symmetrical knots, thick wool, and subtle tonal variations known as abrash throughout the field.

A Heriz carpet serves as an anchor under sofa groups or dining tables, bridging classic English country house aesthetics with modern architectural lines.

Vacuum regularly without a rotating beater bar, rotate annually to balance wear, blot spills immediately with water, and utilize professional specialist cleaners for periodic maintenance.
