Description

I don't find this quality in this sort of condition very often. Absolutely full pile, finely woven and with exceptional colour. The many small colour changes in the orange red field (abrash) are delightful as is the interaction between the straw coloured vines, many and varied leaves and the four palmettes. The extra fine quality to the weave allows the drawing to be as sharp as a knife. A spectacular work of art for your floor.

9'6" x 14'6"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Heriz Carpet to the 1900s.

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in north-west Iran, renowned for producing durable and distinctive geometric village rugs since the 19th century.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using wool pile on cotton foundations, often dyed with natural vegetable dyes including madder root and indigo.

Authentic pieces feature robust knotting, characteristic geometric medallion designs, heavy wool handles, and natural abrash colour variations in the dye.

These carpets anchor contemporary spaces by providing rich colour and structural pattern, balancing minimalist furniture and neutral architectural backdrops.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional periodic washing, and avoidance of direct sunlight to protect natural dyes.
