Handmade Persian Heriz Runner – 210 × 82 cm (6 ft 11 in × 2 ft 8 in)
Handmade Persian Heriz Runner – 210 × 82 cm (6 ft 11 in × 2 ft 8 in)
This outstanding handmade Persian Heriz runner is a fine example of the bold tribal craftsmanship for which the Heriz weaving region of north-west Persia is renowned. Hand knotted approximately 30–40 years ago, it combines striking geometric design, naturally dyed wool and exceptional durability, making it a beautiful and practical addition to any home.
Measuring 210 × 82 cm (approximately 6 ft 11 in × 2 ft 8 in), the runner features a series of traditional Heriz medallions set against a rich madder red field, framed by classic geometric borders. The bold angular motifs and balanced composition reflect the authentic character and enduring appeal of Persian village weaving.
Hand knotted using fine lamb’s wool and coloured with traditional natural dyes, the runner possesses the warmth, depth and character that distinguish genuine handmade Persian rugs. One of its most attractive features is the beautiful abrash (natural colour variation) visible throughout the field. This subtle variation is created by the traditional hand-dyeing process and is widely appreciated as a hallmark of authenticity, adding individuality and charm to the rug.
Designed for heavy domestic use, this robust runner is perfectly suited to busy hallways, entrance halls, kitchens, landings and long corridors, where both durability and decorative impact are equally important.
Professionally hand washed and ready for immediate use.
