Heriz Geometric

Heriz rugs are known for their bold, angular medallions, and this one keeps the look: a large stepped medallion in deep maroon on a camel-beige field, framed by an ivory border of hooked leaves. At 60 knots per square inch the knotting is coarse by design, and the thick, springy wool pile is built for heavy traffic, which is why Heriz weaves have long been chosen for busy living rooms and dining rooms. The geometric drawing sits comfortably with both traditional wooden furniture and plain modern sofas. It comes in four room sizes up to 9 × 12 ft and as a 2½ × 12 ft runner for a long corridor.

Woven near Jaipur by weavers who specialise in heavier village designs. The wool is spun thicker than for city rugs and each knot is tied over a wider gap in the warp, then beaten down hard with a metal comb, which is what gives a Heriz its weight and its long life underfoot.

Every hand-knotted rug comes with a certificate of authenticity that records its design, size, materials, where it was woven and its knot count: 60 knots per square inch.

Hand-knotted rugs are made one at a time, so the size, the colour and the edges can differ slightly from the photographs. That is the mark of the hand, not a fault.
