Where were small heriz carpets made?

These carpets were produced in the Heriz district located in northwest Persia. The region encompasses various villages and workshops. Weavers in this area utilised local wool and traditional geometric designs passed down through generations.

How do I date a small heriz carpet?

Dating relies on examining the specific wool texture, dye palette, and structural characteristics such as the cotton warp. Pieces on this page predominantly date from the late nineteenth century up through the nineteen-thirties. Earlier examples often display hand-spun wool with softer vegetable-derived colours, while later pieces show shifts in chemical dye use and tighter commercial weaving.

Are these carpets suitable for heavy traffic?

The dense wool pile and sturdy cotton warp construction make these floor coverings exceptionally durable for daily use. Their original purpose was practical flooring in active rooms. Placing an appropriate underlay beneath the rug helps protect the foundational structure from premature wear over time.

What is the difference between Heriz and Karaja rugs?

Heriz carpets typically feature large, dominant central medallions with rigid geometric framing and structured corners. Karaja rugs often present repeating geometric figures or multiple smaller medallions across the field. Both types share the same northwest Persian geographic origin and robust material construction.
