This Persian Heriz carpet, woven around 1900, employs wool and cotton materials to form a rectangular floor covering. The composition includes a large geometric central medallion in navy blue and light blue, set against a terracotta red field with angular floral spandrels and a samovar border pattern. Additional visible details comprise stepped pendant medallions, light camel borders, and secondary colours of pinks, greens, and sky blue, alongside medium age-related wear and secure fringes and selvedges. Practical dimensions measure 329 cm high, 212 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this rug suits an English Country House interior style, functioning as a decorative floor covering in a living room, dining room, or bedroom. The piece lays flat on the floor to anchor furniture arrangements while introducing traditional Persian textile patterns and varied hues to domestic spaces.

FAQs

Heriz carpets originate from the Heris region in Northwest Iran, near Mount Sabalan. Produced by village weavers, these textiles became prominent in the nineteenth century for their distinct geometric interpretations of classical Persian medallion designs.

Heriz carpets are hand-knotted using local wool yarn tied over a heavy cotton foundation with symmetrical Turkish (Ghiordes) knots. The high copper content in the regional water supply creates durable wool fibers that hold rich, natural vegetable dyes over time.

Authentic pieces exhibit bold geometric central medallions, angular palmettes, and broad corner spandrels rather than curvilinear floral forms. The reverse side reveals thick, visible foundation threads, slightly irregular hand-woven knotting, and natural colour variations known as abrash.

Position a large carpet centrally in a room to anchor key furniture pieces, allowing the geometric pattern to frame seating arrangements. Combining these traditional woven textiles with contemporary minimalist furniture or dark wood joinery creates balance and visual texture.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating brush bar to protect the pile fibers. Rotate the rug annually to ensure even wear and light exposure, use a quality underlay, and address spills immediately with cold water and clean cloth blotting.
