Heriz Persian Rug 240 × 332 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 240 × 332 cm — a Heriz made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 7.97 m², or 7.9' × 10.9'. Heriz rugs usually carry a bold, angular central medallion.

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

How it reads

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.
