Antique Heriz Persian Rug — 380 × 155 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

This Heriz comes from Iran and measures 380 × 155 cm. It covers approximately 5.89 m², or 12.5' × 5.1'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as approx. 16 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

The stated colourway is Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
