Description

A really stunning, rare pale blue coloured Heriz weaving, using an eight-pointed star and latch-hook motif design in the main field, which we associate with weavers locally to Heriz in the village of Karaja.  Stunning rich saturated colours, these beautiful natural vegetable dyes have aged amazingly over the last 120 years.  The rich and vibrant colour palette is really quite something! With these light blues and gold dyes, muted reds and pale greens.  This is what makes antique carpets so desirable and appealing, as well as being traditional this carpet would not look out of place in a more contemporary setting.

Dating from 1890-1900 the condition is very good, with almost a full height wool pile all over.  Professionally washed by ourselves it is ready for the floor, supplied with our sturdy anti-slip underlay included.

Please request a home visit to arrange a day and time to view this carpet at home.  Alternatively purchase online and we can ship worldwide, including free underlay to keep this beautiful antique carpet safe and secure on the floor.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Heriz carpets are hand-knotted in the Heris district of north-west Iran, renowned for producing exceptionally durable and hard-wearing carpets since the 19th century.

They traditionally feature a sturdy cotton foundation with hand-spun wool pile, dyed using natural vegetable colours such as madder root and indigo.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit a distinct large-scale geometric medallion, heavier knotting with a firm handle, and a balanced palette of terracotta red, navy blue, and ivory.

The bold geometric patterns and rich earthen tones complement contemporary minimalist spaces by adding texture, warmth, and historical contrast.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional washing every few years, and the use of a breathable underlay will help preserve the wool pile and natural dyes.
