Heriz rugs are Persian rugs from the Heris area of ​​northwestern Iran, northeast of Tabriz. The rugs are produced in a village of the same name on the hills of the Sabalan Mountains. Heriz rugs are extremely durable, usable and last for generations. 19th century examples of these rugs are often found at auction houses in the United States and Europe. New Heriz rugs are thick, tough and often very affordable. The rugs age well and will become more beautiful with age. One reason why the rugs are so durable is that the Sabalan Mountains are very high in copper. Traces of copper are found in the drinking water that the sheep drink, which leads to them producing high-quality wool that is more durable than wool from the rest of the country. Heriz rugs are often knotted in geometric, bold patterns with a large medallion dominating the rug. These designs are traditionally often knotted from memory. Similar carpets from nearby towns and villages such as Ahar, Heris, Mehraban, Sarab, Bakhshaish, and Gorevan are often called Heriz carpets but cannot be compared to original Heriz carpets.
