This antique Heriz carpet belongs to the Persian style and dates to the 1890 period, constructed from wool and cotton. The central field displays a large geometric star medallion set against a terracotta red ground, which is further framed by light blue terraced corner spandrels and a dark decorative palmette border filled with angular vine scrolls and soft tones of golden yellow and indigo blue. The piece measures 360 cm high, 257 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Suitable for placement in a traditional drawing room, a formal dining room, a study, or an expansive entrance hall, the rug anchors a room with its rich heritage and grounding palette. The intricate composition and classic patterning provide a traditional focal point for country house or period interiors, pairing effectively with classic wooden floorboards or traditional interior schemes.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in Northwest Iran and are distinguished by their geometric interpretations of floral motifs, heavy wool construction, and prominent central star medallions.

Traditional Heriz rugs are hand-knotted using durable hand-spun wool pile woven onto a heavy cotton warp and weft foundation, with yarns dyed using plant extracts and minerals.

Authentic Heriz carpets feature double-knot symmetry, angular motif designs, natural abrash colour variations, and a stiff, heavy structural backing created by thick cotton foundation threads.

An antique Heriz carpet anchors a living space when placed beneath contemporary or period furniture, utilizing its terracotta and navy tones to contrast with neutral floorboards and walls.

Vacuum the pile regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar, place a dedicated rug underlay underneath to prevent friction, and clean spills immediately with clean water.
