Heriz Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

These smaller Heriz pieces are very popular and increasingly hard to find. This one shows the rich colours we come to expect from a good old example. The design explodes from the centre in layers, first pink rosette flanked with ivory surrounded by a deep blue main medallion which is filled with large flower heads, then into the red field where tendrils join the smaller floral motifs. Finally the ivory corners completes the picture and lightens the rug. These layers creates depth as the colours either retreat or pop out, the red field for example appears below the ivory spandrels. The deep blue border shows off the interlocking palmettes and is typical on Heriz rugs. A classic rug with a bright disposition and useful size.

Good condition.

FAQs

Heriz rugs are hand-knotted Persian textiles originating from the Heris region of north-western Iran, recognised for their geometric medallion designs and durable wool construction.

These carpets are crafted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a strong cotton warp and weft foundation, coloured with natural vegetable dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-tied knot structures visible on the underside, subtle variations in dye tones known as abrash, and angular, geometric renditions of classic floral patterns.

A Heriz rug functions as an anchoring element, pairing effectively with neutral upholstered furniture, clean modern lines, or traditional dark timber pieces to add texture and depth.

Vacuum regularly using suction only to avoid damaging the pile, rotate the carpet periodically to equalize light exposure and foot traffic, and treat liquid spills promptly by blotting with water and mild soap.
