Iraqi Vintage Herki Runner - Deep Red
Dimensions: 305L x 102W cm approx
Materials: 100% wool
From our hand-picked collection of vintage handmade rugs comes this beautiful hall runner, knotted by hand by the ethnic Herki people in the Middle East. These vibrant, one-of-a-kind vintage rugs add colour and warmth to any space, with a combination of rich reds and brighter tones for a striking, timelessly chic look. This style features a geometric woven design with a short, dense wool pile and a twisted tassel fringe.
Herki people are of Kurdish descent and their homelands are the mountainous regions of Eastern Turkey, Iran and Iraq. These rugs are between 50-70 years old but are in almost new condition, picked out by our supplier and imported to New Zealand to add colour and vibrancy to your home!
Care Instructions: please note that these rugs are very special and should be cared for as such -handwoven and hand-dyed, often with natural dyes. Please keep this in mind when purchasing - that although wool is a durable fibre you may experience shedding from this type of woolen rug, and please take extra care with liquids as any liquid spilled on the rug may cause bleeding of the dyes.
For cleaning we recommend taking to a professional rug cleaner. Infrequent and gentle vacuuming is fine but the best care method is to give it a good shake outside to get the dust out!
