Description

This is a very charming small Heriz carpet which dates to the last quarter of the 19th century. It has a rare ivory background with repeating geometric ornaments in very subtle shades of pale blue, green, gold and salmon. All the colours are the derived from natural sources. The sapphire blue border is also attractive with repeating palmettes and stylised tendrils. The carpet feels very rustic in its drawing. The additional of a few small animal ornaments also gives the impression that this carpet may have been made in a cottage industry situation. The unusually small carpet size may also be an indication that originally it was woven for domestic use. It's a really charming carpet. Cherished through the generations, it has survived in good condition with minimal signs of wear damage or repair. The original ends and sides are intact. Professionally cleaned.

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in northwest Persia, traditionally recognised by their bold geometric medallions, robust construction, and striking use of natural vegetable dyes.

These carpets are traditionally hand-knotted using a durable wool pile on a cotton foundation, employing heavy yarns that contribute to their characteristic resilience and dense structural weight.

Authentic pieces from the 19th century typically feature hand-spun wool with subtle abrash colour variations, distinctive geometric corner spandrels, and natural dye palettes dominated by terracotta, indigo, and ivory.

An antique Heriz carpet anchors contemporary living spaces with organic pattern and historical depth, pairing effectively with both minimalist modern furnishings and traditional dark wood interiors.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists, and positioning away from direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
