An antique* Heriz is a type of Persian Rug which is at least 100 years of age. Heriz carpets are notorious for their durability, heavier gauge knot
count, geometric patterns and bold colors. Heriz rugs have a heavier
handle with KPSI in the vicinity of 36-56, although this does vary, and
are almost always wool pile on cotton foundation. Heriz carpets often
have a large medallion placed on top of a rust or brick red field
wrapped with a blue border. Corner spandrels are usually white, and
common design elements include a samovars in the border. Common colors seen in Heriz carpets of this vintage are as seen below:

*An antique Oriental rug or carpet is defined by the ORRA (Oriental Rug
Retailers of America) as a piece which meets or exceeds 100+ years of
age. This 100 year old rule reflects a more conservative evaluation,
which is a nod to an old internationally accepted customs law. To this
day, most museums, reputable sellers and collectors alike will only
consider an Oriental Rug as being "antique" if it is, in fact, 100
years or older.
