PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

More information

Heriz Persian carpets are renowned for their durability, distinctive geometric designs, and deep, rich colors. Originating from the Heriz region in Northwest Iran, these carpets have been a staple of Persian craftsmanship for centuries.

Silk and wool combination Heriz Persian rugs are a luxurious blend of materials that enhance both the aesthetic and functional qualities of the traditional Heriz design. These rugs combine the durability of wool with the sheen and delicacy of silk, resulting in a unique piece that is both practical and visually striking.

Heriz Persian carpet is better suited to large spaces like dining rooms or living rooms and they could also be found in public or regularly used areas since even shoes and high heels do not put a great deal of strain on them over time.

Heriz Persian Carpet Key Characteristics

• Material Blend: These rugs are woven using a combination of wool and silk. The wool provides a sturdy foundation and a soft, durable pile, while the silk adds a touch of elegance with its natural luster and fine texture. This combination allows for intricate designs with a luxurious finish.
• Design: The designs in silk and wool combination Heriz rugs maintain the geometric patterns and bold medallions typical of Heriz rugs, but with added detail and refinement thanks to the silk. The silk threads are often used to highlight specific elements of the pattern, creating a striking contrast with the wool.
• Color Palette: The inclusion of silk allows for more vibrant and varied color schemes. The natural sheen of silk fibers enhances the depth and richness of the colors, making the design elements stand out more vividly.
• Weaving Technique: The blend of silk and wool requires skilled craftsmanship. These rugs typically have a higher knot density compared to all-wool Heriz rugs, allowing for more detailed patterns and a smoother texture. The silk is often used in specific areas of the design, creating a textured effect that adds dimension to the rug.
• Durability: The wool provides the rug with resilience and longevity, while the silk adds a softer, more luxurious feel. The combination of these materials results in a rug that is both durable and elegant, suitable for both functional use and decorative purposes.
• Value: Silk and wool Heriz rugs are more valuable than all-wool versions due to the cost of silk and the added complexity of the weaving process. They are considered a luxurious addition to any home, appreciated for their craftsmanship and beauty.

The wool used in the Heriz Persian carpet is noted for its high quality, durability and resilience. It's assumed that trace copper in the sheep's drinking water might be the reason. The Heriz area is located on and near the slopes of Mount Sabalan, which is home to one of the world's greatest copper mines.

Heriz Persian carpet is not only a functional piece but also a work of art, often used in spaces where it can be appreciated for its beauty and craftsmanship.

These carpets are highly valued by collectors and interior designers alike for their craftsmanship, aesthetic appeal, and the rich history they embody. View the full collection here
