Antique Wool Heriz Persian Rug, 192 × 150 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 192 × 150 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.88 m² of floor, about 6.3' × 4.9'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

Colour and appearance

Age and condition

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