About the Item

Heriz rugs are a type of handwoven Persian rug originating from the city of Heris, located in the northwest region of Iran. These rugs are known for their distinctive style, durability, and rich cultural heritage. Heriz rugs are highly regarded and sought after by collectors and rug enthusiasts worldwide. Here are some characteristics of Heriz rugs: Design: Heriz rugs typically feature a bold and geometric design, often centered around a large medallion motif. The medallion is surrounded by intricate geometric patterns, such as stylized flowers, leaves, and other motifs. The designs are usually symmetrically arranged. Colors: Heriz rugs often showcase a warm color palette dominated by reds, blues, and earth tones. The dyes used in these rugs are traditionally derived from natural sources like plants and minerals, which lend a rich and vibrant look to the colors. Construction: Heriz rugs are handwoven using high-quality, locally sourced wool. The wool is known for its durability and resistance to wear, making Heriz rugs suitable for high-traffic areas. They typically have a thick pile, which provides a soft and comfortable feel underfoot. Weaving Technique: Heriz rugs are woven using a traditional Persian knotting technique known as the "symmetrical knot" or "Ghiordes knot." This knotting method ensures the durability of the rug and allows for intricate designs to be created. Authenticity: Genuine Heriz rugs are handmade by skilled artisans in the Heris region of Iran. These rugs often bear the mark of the weaver, providing a sense of authenticity and uniqueness to each piece. Heriz rugs are not only admired for their aesthetic appeal but also valued as investments due to their quality craftsmanship and timeless design. They can add warmth, elegance, and a touch of the exotic to a wide range of interior settings.
