Heriz carpets are distinctive for their bold geometric patterns and notably their oversize medallion centrepiece. The medallion is noticeable because it spans almost to the borders of the carpet. The colours of these Persian Heriz carpets are typically red and blue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSo, where does \"Aryana\" come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAryana is the name of a type of Afghan rug. These rugs are handmade and hand-knotted and are of excellent quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a wide variety of styles of rug that may be given the Aryana attribution. Often the designs produced are revival patterns from ancient carpet designs. These are geometric tribal themes, north west Persian, and floral or Ziegler-like themes, although modern Abstract rugs are sometimes given this title. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the standout features of Aryana rugs is their beautiful colours from natural dyes and hand-spun wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this Aryana rug made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 8x5 Afghan Aryana rug was handmade by age-old carpet weaving methods known as hand-knotting. A rug of this size would have been made by two weavers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woollen pile is created by the weaver securing tufts of coloured woollen yarn onto pairs of cotton warp threads. It is this knot that forms each tuft of pile. A rug like this will contain hundreds of thousands of knots in it! The knots are tied across the width of the loom and in between the rows of knots, weft threads are woven. The more rows of knots completed, the more of the rug design becomes visible.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I use this rug at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use this red and blue rug pretty much anywhere in your home. It is not delicate, it's made with durable natural materials and is a long lasting item that will serve the test of time. It's a practical colour too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 8x5'7 rug is a great size for use in living rooms between sofas. It is hardy enough to use in an entrance hall, and luxurious enough to use in a bedroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHelpful hint...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep this handmade Aryana rug firmly anchored to the floor, think about using an anti-slip rug underlay beneath it. This will stop the rug from moving whilst helping to avert any mishaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eKey details: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/b\u003e Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e238x170cm \/ 7’10”x5’7”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePile:\u003c\/b\u003e Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarp: \u003c\/b\u003eCotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAge:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081523597643,"sku":"TORM-1189-HANDMADE ARYANA HERIZ RUG-238 X 170CM","price":1215.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Aryana-Heriz-2.38x1.70m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786282905","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/handmade-aryana-heriz-rug","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
