Heriz carpets are Persian rugs produced in the Heris region of East Azerbaijan, northwest Iran, northeast of Tabriz. These carpets are made in the same-named settlement on the slopes of Mount Sabalan. Heriz rugs are long-lasting and resilient, and they may be passed down through generations. Major auction houses in the United States and Europe frequently sell such carpets from the nineteenth century.
Carpets are made with a recognizable design, among many styles, throughout the city and its environs, with a substantial right-angled medallion in the middle and large defined corner parts. Large carpets are often woven with coarse yarn on a rustic cotton warp. Heriz carpets are noted for their longevity and toughness and are ideal for hallways and dining rooms because of their excellent wool quality. The most frequent sizes are 300x200 cm and larger. Georavan and Mehravan produce similar carpets. Heriz rugs are appropriate for both private and public spaces.
✔ Afshar, Mehraban, Sarab, Bakhshaish, and Gorevan are cities and villages in the Heriz area that produce similar carpets. These carpets are graded mainly through the local name. Since the turn of the century, Serapis has been regarded as the highest grade of Heriz.
✔ The design of Heriz carpets is highly similar. As a result, they are easily identified: a vast, straight medallion gives them their distinctive appearance. As a result, gorgeous and fascinating carpets are becoming increasingly popular.
✔ Mount Sabalan rests atop a large copper deposit, which contributes to the durability of Heriz rugs. Copper traces in sheep's drinking water result in high-quality wool that is significantly more durable than wool from other regions. The Heriz carpet is the only carpet in the world that weaves stories from the past.
