Heriz Rugs

A Persian Heriz rug is a type of handmade rug originating from the town of Heriz in northwestern Iran, known for its bold colors and unique signature design featuring a large medallion with oversized corner pieces and double or triple outlining. Made from high-quality wool, Heriz rugs are durable and heavy, with a wide range of vibrant colors, typically including rich reds, deep blues, brilliant greens, and sunny yellows, beautifully contrasted against a creamy ivory backdrop. These rugs often incorporate traditional motifs and symbols, reflecting the rich history and heritage of the artisans who create them, and are easily recognizable due to their distinctive geometric designs and expressive power. Surprisingly durable and hard-wearing, Heriz rugs are suitable for any room, from libraries and studies to living rooms and bedrooms, making them a versatile and beautiful addition to any home.
