Heriz II - 4 x 6

Heriz rugs are Persian rugs from the area of Heris, East Azerbaijan in northwest Iran, northeast of Tabriz.^[1] Such rugs are produced in the village of the same name in the slopes of Mount Sabalan. Heriz carpets are durable and hard-wearing and they can last for generations.  Part of the reason for their durability  is that Mount Sabalan sits on a major deposit of copper. Traces of copper in the drinking water of the sheep produces high quality wool that is far more resilient than wool from other areas. The Heriz Carpet is the only carpet in the world where stories of the Old times are woven.^[2]

Heriz rug weavers often make them in geometric, bold patterns with a large medallion dominating the field. Such designs are traditional and often woven from memory.

This carpet is made with 100% handspun sheep wool and natural vegetable dyes. Ideal for high traffic areas.
