The Piece
A geometry only the old looms still remember.
Sunlit Grove is a Heriz rug, from Afghanistan, woven in wool, measuring 17'8" × 25'9". It was tied entirely by hand, knot by knot on the loom, so no two are ever exactly alike. Its palette runs to red, blue. At this size it works beautifully as the anchor of a large living room, dining room or great room.
It is large enough to carry a whole room on its own, or to hold two separate seating areas without either one drifting off the edge.
Heriz weaving comes from the villages around Mount Sabalan in north west Iran and is known for large angular drawing and an exceptionally hard wearing build, because the wool in that region is unusually tough. Heriz designs are woven elsewhere too, and this rug's origin is in the specification.
Like every rug we carry, it comes from the Malik family, in the rug trade since 1970, and is sold direct from our Houston gallery. See it in person or on a live video call before you decide.
A note on character
Faint creases from transit are normal and relax within a few days of lying flat. Slight irregularities in line and color are the fingerprints of the weaver, not flaws.

The Making
From fleece to floor.
Every Arteverk rug is made the slow way — by hand, through the six steps below. No two pass through them quite the same.
01
02
Dye
Small-batch dyeing in steaming vats — colors drawn from nature, then sun-set so they soften gracefully with age.
03
Knot
Tied by hand, knot by knot — a single rug can take months and tens of thousands of knots.
04
Wash
Hand-washed and sun-dried — the step that gives our rugs their soft hand and lived-in glow.
05
Shear
Hand-sheared — the pile clipped level by eye, bringing the design into focus.
06
Finish
Finished by hand — edges bound (kinara), fringe secured (zanjiri), the rug stretched and squared (takhta).

What Owners Say
Bought once. Kept for good.
Each rug is one of a kind and sold once, so it isn't rated piece by piece. The people who live with our rugs tell the story instead.
Good to Know
Questions, answered.
Is this rug really hand-knotted?
Yes. This is a genuine hand-knotted rug — tied entirely by hand, knot by knot, from wool. That hand-work is exactly why no two are alike and why this piece is one of a kind.
What is this rug made of, and where was it made?
It is hand-knotted from wool in Afghanistan, on a cotton foundation.
What size is this rug?
This exact piece measures 17'8" × 25'9" (about a Oversize rug). These are the real, measured dimensions of this one rug — hand-made pieces vary by an inch or two from any standard size.
Is this piece really one of a kind?
Yes. This is the only one of this rug that exists — its color, size and pattern will never be reproduced. When it sells, it is gone for good.
Do you ship for free?
Yes — every order ships free anywhere in the United States, fully insured and carefully rolled for transit.
What is your return policy?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return, and 7 days to send it back once approved. We email you a prepaid shipping label — return shipping is on us — and refund you once the rug is back with us.
How do I care for my rug?
Vacuum gently (no beater bar), rotate it now and then for even wear, and blot spills right away rather than rubbing. For a deeper clean, see our rug care guide or ask us about professional hand-cleaning.
Can I see it in person before buying?
Yes. You're welcome at our Houston showroom — book a private viewing and we'll have the piece ready to walk on.
Can I pay over time?
Yes — you can split your purchase into monthly payments with Affirm at checkout, and checking your rate won't affect your credit score.
