Antique Heriz Persian Rug, 192 × 150 cm, Wool

Overview

This Heriz comes from Iran and measures 192 × 150 cm. That is roughly 2.88 m² of floor, about 6.3' × 4.9'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Condition

Stated age: antique. As an antique piece, condition should be judged against its age.
