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.

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

• Design: Heriz carpets are famous for their large, bold medallion motifs that dominate the central field, often surrounded by intricate borders. The designs are angular and geometric, which is distinct from the more curvilinear patterns found in other Persian carpets.
• Colors: The typical color palette includes deep reds, blues, and earth tones, often with contrasting ivory or lighter colors for highlights.
• Weaving Technique: These carpets are hand-knotted with a thick, durable pile, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. The foundation is usually made of cotton, with wool used for the pile. The wool is often coarser, contributing to the carpet's durability.
• Durability: One of the defining features of Heriz carpets is their strength and longevity. The high-quality wool and robust knotting technique ensure that these carpets can withstand heavy use, often lasting for generations.
• Cultural Significance: The designs of Heriz carpets are deeply rooted in the cultural and artistic traditions of the region. Each carpet reflects a combination of village and tribal influences, with the patterns often passed down through generations. 

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.

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
