How do I identify a Heriz carpet?

Heriz carpets typically present bold geometric central medallions set against terracotta or brick-red fields, framed by strong turtle borders. The wool quality is famously robust and heavy due to the mountain climate of the region. Look for large-scale angular drawing rather than curved floral vine-scrolls, as village weavers favored simplified, powerful symmetry.

What is the difference between Serapi and Heriz?

Serapi carpets represent an older, finer, and more open-field iteration of Heriz weaving from the nineteenth century. They feature spacious geometric arrangements with exceptional balance and softer, muted dye palettes. Standard Heriz pieces from later decades often display denser geometric patterning and stronger, more saturated primary colours across the field.

How should I care for an antique wool carpet?

Protect the textile by placing a quality breathable underlay beneath it to prevent slipping and reduce friction against hard floors. Vacuum gently with suction only, avoiding the rotating brush bars that can pull old wool pile. Rotate the carpet periodically to ensure even exposure to foot traffic and sunlight. Professional cleaning by a specialist in antique textiles remains essential every few years.

Where were Mahal and Ziegler carpets made?

Mahal carpets were produced in the district around the village of Sultanabad in west-central Persia. They are known for large-scale, all-over floral patterns and relaxed weaves suited for Western room sizes. Ziegler and Co was a Manchester-based firm operating in Sultanabad that commissioned large carpets with softened palettes specifically for European drawing rooms.
