Where were these rugs made?

These floor coverings originate from Northwest Persia, specifically the Heriz region and surrounding weaving centres known for distinctive geometric carpet production. The traditions of this area combine durable cotton foundations with resilient wool pile to create heavy, long-lasting carpets.

How do I use a runner rug?

Long hallway runners fit narrow spaces like corridors, entryways, and gallery landings. Their elongated proportions help define walkways while adding warmth to transitional areas. Matching the runner length to the corridor dimensions ensures the geometric borders remain visible and uncluttered.

What is the difference between Serapi and Heriz?

Serapi rugs are generally regarded as an earlier, bolder sub-style associated with the Heriz region, often featuring more open field designs and large geometric medallions. Both types share similar wool and cotton materials, though Serapi pieces typically date towards the end of the nineteenth century.

How do I care for a wool carpet?

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush roll helps protect the wool pile and cotton foundation from dust accumulation. Professional cleaning suited to antique textiles preserves the natural dyed yarns. Placing the carpet out of direct strong sunlight prevents premature fading of the saturated natural colours.
