Bold Design Meets Lasting Craftsmanship with Heriz Rugs

Strong lines, vibrant color, and enduring beauty are woven into every Heriz masterpiece.

Heriz rugs are among the most admired types of rugs in the world, celebrated for their geometric patterns, rich colors, and unmatched durability. Handwoven in villages surrounding the town of Heriz in northwest Iran, these rugs reflect a perfect blend of tribal artistry and urban refinement. Their distinct visual character and rugged construction have made Heriz rugs a lasting favorite for homes that value both beauty and function.

Originating in the East Azerbaijan province near the weaving hub of Tabriz, Heriz rugs have been crafted for generations using techniques passed down through families. What sets them apart is their bold aesthetic: strong, angular lines form intricate medallions and stylized motifs, creating a powerful design that stands out in any space. These rugs are traditionally woven using high-quality wool rich in lanolin, often sourced from the sheep of the Shahsavan nomads who graze in the Elbrus Mountains. The wool’s strength and natural sheen make Heriz rugs both visually striking and highly resilient.

Color plays a central role in the Heriz rug's appeal. Deep reds, indigos, rusts, and ivory tones dominate the palette, all dyed with natural plant-based pigments. Over time, these colors may shift subtly in a phenomenon called abrash, a result of hand-dyeing techniques that give each rug a uniquely organic and dynamic look.

Heriz rugs are constructed with a thick wool pile on a cotton foundation, resulting in a dense, durable textile that’s made to withstand daily use. The knotting technique used in Heriz weaving ensures the design remains crisp and stable, even after decades of foot traffic. It’s not uncommon to find antique Heriz rugs that are still in excellent condition after more than a century of use, testament to the craftsmanship behind each piece.
