A RARE SIZE FOR AN ANTIQUE HERIZ, it’s Heriz Jr.! 

Almost all Persian Heriz rugs we seem to catch are 8x10 or larger. This is a great find and a sweet little treasure. So for those of you who love heriz and some awesome blue, this baby is here and ready for adoption  

This rug was hand knotted in Northwest Persia, and is in amazing condition for its 100 years of age. A real beauty that has timeless value and generations to go. This rug has coarse knotting and a low wool pile with a sophisticated geometric design and medallions in it's field.

It's an all natural, vegetable dyed wool rug and in great condition, especially considering its age. Remember, this is an original Heriz, not a reproduction. It does not get better than original Oriental rugs such as this.

Heriz's are one of the most sought after antique rugs and the durability of this heavy rug will last for generations to come. This is such a charming and desirable rug, just look at those beautiful french blue corners and brilliant center medallion! The fun color ways are so hard to come by. WE LOVE BLUE @blueparakeetrugs!

Fun facts: Heriz rugs are known for their outstanding durability. Coined "the Iron Rug of Iran," Heriz rugs were produced in the Northwest corner of Iran, on and around Mount Sabalan. One reason for the toughness of Heriz carpets is that Mount Sabalan sits on a major deposit of copper. Trace copper in the drinking water of sheep produces the most desired wool for rug weaving because it makes wool that is stronger and more resilient than wool from most other areas. It is said that many Heriz rug designs are woven from memory, with intricate designs passed on through generations of artisans.
