Where were these rugs made?

These rugs were woven in the North-West Persian region, particularly in and around the town of Heriz and nearby weaving centres like Karaja and Bakshaish. Village weavers produced them using locally sourced materials and traditional geometric designs passed down through generations. The regional style developed distinct characteristics that separate these floor coverings from city-made Persian carpets, relying on bold medallions and sturdy construction.

How do I care for an old rug?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar removes surface dirt and protects the wool pile from abrasive dust particles. Professional cleaning should be undertaken periodically by specialists familiar with antique Persian textiles. Keeping the carpet out of direct, prolonged sunlight helps preserve the natural dyes and prevents uneven fading across the wool surface.

What is the difference between Heriz and Serapi?

Serapi rugs represent an earlier, typically finer nineteenth-century iteration of the Heriz style with more open, spacious compositions. They often feature muted tones and balanced geometric drawing. Standard Heriz carpets from later periods generally display denser, more robust central medallions and busier field designs.

Are these rugs suitable for hallways?

Many examples from this group are woven as runners specifically intended for hallways and corridors. Their durable wool pile and cotton foundations provide the necessary strength for high-traffic areas. Checking the precise length and width dimensions ensures the runner fits the specific architectural proportions of the corridor.
