Traditional Persian Heriz Craftsmanship

Heriz is one of the most celebrated carpet-weaving regions of north-west Persia, recognised for its distinctive artistic heritage and traditional craftsmanship.

Antique Persian Heriz carpets are particularly admired for their bold geometric compositions, angular floral motifs and beautifully structured designs.

Unlike the delicate curving patterns of some Persian city carpets, Heriz designs often incorporate stronger architectural forms, stylised floral elements and prominent decorative borders.

These distinctive characteristics have made Heriz carpets highly desirable among collectors, interior designers and customers seeking traditional Persian carpets with strong decorative appeal.

Their timeless character makes them particularly suitable for English country houses, Georgian and Victorian properties, traditional drawing rooms and contemporary interiors.

Outstanding Traditional Heriz Design

Traditional Persian Heriz carpets are renowned for their bold, expressive designs and beautifully balanced geometric compositions.

Many antique examples feature striking central medallions, angular floral ornamentation and carefully structured borders.

The distinctive design language of Heriz weaving creates a wonderful sense of balance and decorative interest.

This regional style works particularly well in larger rooms, where the carpet can become a beautiful focal point.

Its traditional Persian character also provides an attractive contrast with contemporary furniture and minimalist interior schemes.

Beautiful Antique Character

Antique Persian carpets are particularly appreciated for their individuality, traditional craftsmanship and decorative heritage.

Unlike modern machine-made carpets, genuine antique pieces can display the character and subtle variations associated with traditional weaving.

Their established appearance and distinctive artistic identity make them attractive choices for customers who appreciate traditional furnishings and historic textiles.

An antique Persian Heriz carpet can bring warmth, personality and a timeless decorative quality to a room.
