Antique Heriz Rugs UK | Authentic Handmade Persian Heriz Carpets

Heriz rugs are among the most admired handmade Persian rugs in the world, recognised for their bold geometric patterns, striking central medallions, and exceptional durability. Handwoven in north-west Persia, these remarkable carpets have been treasured for generations and remain highly sought after by collectors, interior designers, and homeowners.

At Hakiemie Rug Gallery, we specialise in authentic antique and vintage Heriz rugs, carefully selected for their craftsmanship, originality, condition, and timeless beauty. Whether you are furnishing a contemporary London apartment or a traditional country home, a genuine Heriz rug brings warmth, character, and lasting value to any interior.

Why Choose a Heriz Rug?

Unlike many other Persian carpets, Heriz rugs are celebrated for their bold geometric designs and incredibly durable construction. Their distinctive appearance makes them suitable for both classic and modern interiors.

A handmade Heriz rug offers:

• Bold geometric medallion designs
• Exceptional durability for everyday living
• Rich natural wool with beautiful texture
• Timeless craftsmanship
• Excellent long-term investment value
• Unique one-of-a-kind character

The History of Heriz Rugs

The Heriz region has been producing exceptional handmade carpets for centuries. Located in north-west Persia, this area is renowned for its skilled artisans who continue traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.

Antique Heriz rugs are instantly recognisable for their large angular medallions, geometric motifs, and balanced compositions. Unlike floral Persian rugs, Heriz carpets possess a bold architectural appearance that has made them favourites among collectors worldwide.

What Makes Antique Heriz Rugs Special?

Every antique Heriz rug tells its own story. No two rugs are ever identical, making each piece a genuine work of textile art.

Collectors appreciate Heriz rugs because of their:

• Hand-spun wool
• Natural vegetable dyes
• Strong hand-knotted construction
• Distinctive geometric designs
• Rich history and provenance
• Long-lasting quality

Many antique Heriz rugs have already survived well over one hundred years while retaining their beauty and structural integrity.

Authentic Handmade Craftsmanship

Each Heriz rug in our collection has been woven entirely by hand using traditional Persian weaving methods.

Natural wool, carefully prepared yarns, and time-honoured knotting techniques create rugs that cannot be replicated by machine production.

Every rug is individually inspected before being added to our collection, ensuring authenticity, quality, and excellent overall condition.

Popular spaces include:

• Living rooms
• Dining rooms
• Entrance halls
• Hallways
• Home offices
• Bedrooms

Their bold geometric patterns complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
