12009 Afghan Ariana Heriz Design Carpet 249x302cm (8.2 x 9.11ft)

Large size Afghan Ariana Heriz design rug of high quality which has been made by Afghan Hazara Weavers (these rugs have a very similar quality of weave and wool to Afghan "Super Kazak" rugs). The Persian Heriz designs used in these rugs are often seen with a single central medallion reaching out from the centre of the rug and surrounded by very intricate, elegant patterns and classic soft washed out reds & dusky pinks. This large Afghan Heriz Rug Measures approximately 249x302cm (8.2 x 9.11ft) excluding any fringes - we rarely get such stunning statement pieces like this, the colours and patterns are divine, you can't help but fall in love with this rug when you see it!  Find out more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.

These carpets are newly made although not so often in the Heriz pattern, they are hand-knotted using tightly spun high quality wool. Ariana Rugs have a short pile with a beautiful sheen, almost like silk which is due to the superior hand spun wool used and the gentle washing process of the rug after it has been woven.

The original Heriz rugs are of Persian origin and have been woven for over a century in the north west region of Persia, the designs of these Afghan Heriz rugs are similar to that of antique Persian Heriz Serapi carpets. Patterns have been passed down through the generations. We are pleased that Afghan weavers are now incorporating these patterns into their designs as they are so attractive and sought after.
