Heriz Persian Rug 335 × 458 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 335 × 458 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 15.34 m² (11' × 15'). Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour is recorded as 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.
