Story Behind the Art: Heriz rugs originate from the rugged highlands of northwestern Iran, near the historic weaving center of Tabriz, where village artisans developed a style known for its strength, clarity, and unmistakable presence. Woven with thick, resilient local wool naturally rich in lanolin, these rugs are celebrated for their durability and ability to withstand decades of daily use. The defining feature of Heriz design is its bold, angular medallion—large in scale and geometric in form—surrounded by sharply stylized leaves, rosettes, and structural motifs that extend confidently across the field. Color palettes traditionally feature saturated reds, deep indigo blues, warm ivories, and grounded earth tones, enhancing the rug’s architectural character and visual weight. With their powerful compositions and enduring construction, Heriz rugs stand as iconic examples of Persian village weaving, prized both as functional heirlooms and as commanding statement pieces in sophisticated interiors.
