Antique Heriz rug

Description

As near to being in perfect condition as an antique rug can be! A rare small and almost square antique Heriz rug of the highest order, very rare to find one in good pile, and with the best natural dyes.

The larger border design is often known as the so-called “turtle” pattern, which has probably been derived from the interlacing arabesques that appeared in rugs at least as early as the beginning of the 15th Century.  The rosette and attendant leaves between adjacent “turtles” show the other ancient ‘Herati’ pattern. Which has been stylised from two fish swimming around a water-lily over the centuries.  This is more often seen on larger carpets from Heriz, so rare to see in a small rug.

Reserve this antique Heriz rug and you can arrange either a home viewing or to see it at our barn showroom in Crondall, Surrey.

Interior designers you are very welcome to reserve this beautiful rug for your project too, click on reserve to request this service.


Heriz carpets and rugs are famous for their durability and are one of the toughest antique rugs due to the good quality wool that was used. They are still extremely popular today, and can be used in an traditional home with exposed beams for example as well as a more modern home with contemporary furniture and paintings. Their warm colours and interesting designs make them an excellent compliment to many interiors.

We love to travel all over the country showing our stock of beautiful antique and contemporary rugs in customers homes.
