Heriz (Heris) rugs are usually somewhat larger and robust and of high resistance. The reason for this is the pile made of high-quality wool yarn, which is knotted on cotton warp.

These rugs from northwestern Iran are more suitable for large rooms such as dining or living rooms. You can also imagine these carpets in public or frequently used rooms, as even many shoes and feet do not stress them much over time.

Heriz rugs are very similar in design. Therefore, they are easily recognizable: a large, straight medallion gives them their typical character. This has as effect very beautiful and exciting carpets that are becoming more and more popular.
