• Material: Hand-spun wool rich in lanolin, often sourced from sheep of the Shahsavan nomads who graze in the Elbrus Mountains. This wool is naturally high in lanolin, which enhances stain resistance, increases longevity, and contributes to the warmth and character that has defined historic carpets for centuries.
• Construction: Hand-knotted with 22 knots per square inch—a knot density that ensures crisp, stable patterns and exceptional structural integrity.
• Design: Traditional Heriz Serapi style with strong, angular lines form intricate medallions and stylized motifs. Heriz Serapi rugs feature a finer weave and curvier design.
• Color Story: Charcoal, ivory, and beige tones derived from traditional natural dyes. Colors may shift subtly over time through a natural process called abrash, adding to the rug's character.
• Origin & Craftsmanship: Made in Bhadohi, India—one of the world's largest rug manufacturing centers with a weaving heritage dating back to the 16th century. Skilled artisans tie every knot by hand, often creating more than one million knots in a single carpet.
• Production: Made to order in 30-45 days to ensure freshness and quality control.

The knotting technique used in Heriz weaving ensures the design remains crisp and stable, even after decades of foot traffic. It's not uncommon to find antique Heriz rugs that are still in excellent condition after more than a century of use. In residential settings with moderate traffic, a well-made wool rug can easily last 20 to 30 years. In lower traffic areas such as bedrooms or formal living spaces, it can last significantly longer. Wool contains lanolin, a natural oil that helps repel dirt and liquids. This protective quality reduces staining and makes wool easier to maintain than many people expect. Regular vacuuming, avoiding prolonged moisture, and using a rug pad under heavy furniture will help preserve its beauty and durability for decades. Rotate every few months to prevent uneven wear and fading, and address spills immediately by blotting with a white cloth.
