FAQs

Heriz rugs are hand-knotted carpets produced in the Heris region of north-west Iran, known for their durable construction and distinctive geometric medallion designs influenced by traditional village weaving.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool pile woven onto cotton warps and wefts, utilising sturdy symmetrical knots and natural vegetable dyes derived from plants, roots, and minerals.

Authentication involves examining the density and irregularity of the hand-knotting on the reverse, the presence of abrash (subtle colour variations from batch-dyed wool), and traditional motifs such as the large central geometric medallion.

These versatile textiles serve as grounding centrepieces in contemporary spaces, pairing effectively with minimalist furniture, neutral upholstery, and clean architectural lines to create visual warmth.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, prompt blotting of spills, professional hand-washing every few years, and rotating the placement periodically to ensure even wear.
