Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Heriz of 330 × 100 cm. It covers approximately 3.3 m², or 10.8' × 3.3'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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

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.

Age

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