At a glance

Origin Iran, format 251 × 339 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 8.51 m² (8.2' × 11.1'). Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
