Story Behind the Art: Originating from the rugged mountains of northwestern Iran near Tabriz, Heriz rugs are renowned for their striking designs and exceptional durability. These handcrafted rugs are woven from local wool that is rich in natural lanolin, giving them the resilience needed to last for generations. The signature feature of Heriz rugs is the bold, angular medallion—a large, geometric focal point framed by intricate leaf and motif patterns that radiate across the field. With a color palette of deep reds, rich indigos, ivory, and earthy tones, Heriz rugs create a commanding presence with their architectural strength. Celebrated for their durability and dramatic aesthetic, these rugs are both functional and ornamental, making them timeless symbols of Persian village craftsmanship. Whether used as a functional piece in high-traffic areas or as a statement artwork in sophisticated interiors, Heriz rugs continue to captivate with their beauty and lasting appeal.
