FAQs

Heriz carpets are hand-knotted oriental rugs produced in the Heris region of northwest Iran. Known for their durable construction and bold, geometric medallion designs, these carpets have been crafted by local villagers and weaving cooperatives for generations.

Authentic Heriz carpets are traditionally constructed using a sturdy cotton foundation for the warp and weft, paired with a dense hand-spun wool pile. Natural vegetable dyes, such as madder root and indigo, are typically employed to achieve rich, enduring hues.

Authentication involves examining the knot density, backside construction, wool quality, and dye characteristics. Genuine pieces often display slight irregularities in symmetry and hand-spun variations, alongside characteristic geometric motifs centred around a prominent angular medallion.

An antique Heriz carpet serves as a striking anchor piece that adds warmth and texture to modern or transitional spaces. Pairing the intricate geometric patterns with minimalist furniture allows the rich colour palette and traditional craftsmanship to stand out.

Preservation requires regular, gentle vacuuming without rotating beater bars, prompt professional cleaning when spills occur, and periodic rotation to ensure even wear. Protecting the carpet from direct, prolonged sunlight also helps prevent natural dye fading.
