Complete your setup
Heriz carpets earned their reputation in the dining rooms and libraries of late-Victorian America for one reason. The angular drawing and the cotton foundation made them more durable underfoot than any contemporary Persian alternative, and they aged into a richer palette rather than fading.
The loom carried this piece for several months. Hand-tied knots at approximately 145 per square inch on a cotton foundation. Hand-spun wool dyed in small lots from madder root, indigo, oak gall, and walnut hull, each batch matured in copper vats for two to three weeks before the wool was lowered.
The composition
The field opens around a stepped diamond. The red grounds the composition; the ivory works as relief above it. The palette settles into the deep saturations that vegetable dye holds without ever flattening. The field will read differently in morning light than in evening light, the way oil paint does.
What you are buying
Fine Tabriz and Mughal-style work of this density rarely appears in retail at this number outside India. The same rug catalogued through a Western gallery would be priced at a multiple. Hand-knotted wool work appreciates with care; the rug rewards ownership rather than depreciating it.
The piece in a room
At the size as listed, the rug works as the central composition of a room arranged around it. Mid-tone walls hold the saturation. The red carries warmth into the architecture without competing with upholstery or art.
Conservation
Turn the rug end for end every six months so the pile compacts evenly under traffic. Vacuum with suction only, never a beater bar. Address spills immediately with a dry cotton cloth. A specialist hand-wash every five to seven years restores lustre. The piece is built to outlast the room it is placed in.

Day-to-day care
- Vacuum gently once a week without a rotating brush bar — use the suction-only setting on hand-knotted or hand-tufted pieces.
- Rotate the rug 180° every 3-6 months so foot traffic and sunlight wear is even.
- Use a quality rug pad underneath for slip resistance and to extend life.
- Blot fresh spills immediately with a clean white cloth — do not rub. Work from the edge of the spill inward.
Deep cleaning
- Professional dry-cleaning is recommended every 12-24 months for hand-knotted carpets.
- Avoid steam cleaners and hot water on natural-fibre rugs (wool, silk, jute) — they can cause shrinkage and dye bleeding.
- For washable flat-weaves and cotton dhurries, machine-wash on a gentle cold cycle in a mesh bag.
Storage
- Roll (do not fold) the carpet around a clean cardboard tube, pile-side in.
- Wrap in breathable cotton sheeting (not plastic) and store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space.
- Use moth-protection sachets if storing wool for more than a season.

Frequently asked
How long will shipping take?
Most metros (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata) receive their order in 3-5 business days. Tier-2 cities take 5-7 business days, and remote pin codes (J&K, North-East, Andamans) take 7-10 business days. Use the pin-code checker above for a concrete delivery date.
Will the colour exactly match the photo?
Each carpet is hand-crafted with natural-dye yarns, so a small variation in shade, pattern density, and tone is expected and is part of the authenticity of a handmade piece. Colours on screen also vary by monitor and lighting. If you are matching a specific decor, request a yarn sample before ordering.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Yes — we send 2-3 small yarn / pile samples for ₹500 (refundable against your purchase). Message us on WhatsApp with the SKU and your shipping pin code to arrange a sample.
