Heriz rugs are handwoven in the mountainous region of Heriz in northwestern Iran, an area known for producing some of the most iconic and durable Persian rugs. These rugs are celebrated for their bold, striking geometric designs, making them a favorite among rug collectors and enthusiasts. The unique blend of tribal and formal elements gives Heriz rugs a distinctive character that stands out in the world of Persian carpets.

The hallmark of Heriz rugs is the large central medallion, which often dominates the design, surrounded by angular, geometric motifs, floral patterns, and stylized leaves. The strong, symmetrical layout reflects the tribal roots of the region, while the detailed ornamentation showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the weavers. The edges of the medallion and surrounding elements are often sharp and defined, giving the rugs a graphic and powerful aesthetic.

Heriz rugs are known for their rich, earthy color palette. Common colors include deep reds, rusts, blues, and ivory, often accented with softer tones like pink or green. These vibrant hues are derived from natural dyes, giving the rugs an organic, timeless appeal. The combination of these warm colors and bold designs makes Heriz rugs a perfect complement for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

What truly sets Heriz rugs apart is their exceptional durability. The wool used in Heriz rugs is typically thick and coarse, sourced from highland sheep, which adds to the rug’s longevity. The rugs are woven with a relatively low knot density, but this does not detract from their strength or beauty. In fact, Heriz rugs are prized for their ability to endure heavy use while maintaining their aesthetic appeal over time.
