Description
Heriz is a city located in northwestern Iran, near the city of Tabriz, which is a major rug-weaving center in Iran.
Most often, Heriz rugs have oversized geometric medallions, that are crisply delineated against a rich red, rust, or dark blue field.
The pattern is almost always geometric, although some Heriz rugs have an all-over layout often together with geometric floral motives and less frequently curvilinear floral motives.
They are commonly used as floor coverings and are notorious for their durability.
