 Home | Heriz Rug Collection

Heriz, located in the Province of Azerbaijan, is a very important production center of Persian carpets. Hand woven by the Turkish inhabitants of Heriz, the creation of Persian carpets is their primary source of income and this time honored craft is passed down from generation to generation. The skilled artisans still use basically the same technique as that of the Mongols who invaded the region in the 13th century. Heriz Persian carpets are the most sought after of the tribal rugs. Antique Heriz Persian carpets called Serapi (woven before 1900) are extremely valuable and highly collectable. Most weavers use the Turkish double knot, while the KPSI (knots per square inch) will vary depending upon the quality of the carpet. Heriz Persian carpets from the town's workshops are of better quality than those from the remote mountain villages. The silk Persian carpets are exceptionally finely knotted and are both very rare and absolutely exquisite.
Newer Heriz Persian carpets most frequently feature a large, single, octagonal medallion complemented by flowers, twines, and vases. The background tends to be very densely decorated. Antique carpets will have different designs on quite a plain background in various shades of blue, turquoise, brown, and beige. Newer Heriz Persian carpets are very distinctive using a color palette of red, brown, and baby blue. The colors are created with vegetable and root dyes.
The foundation of Heriz Persian carpets is cotton, while the pile is wool although on rare occasion you will find a silk carpet. These carpets are extremely sturdy and woven to last a lifetime. Then pass them down to the next generation so that they can continue to be enjoyed. Heriz Persian carpets are available in a variety of sizes, but the majority of them are mid-size to large. Their absolute charm will enhance any décor and every room in the house, while their lovely colors will add warmth and beauty to your environment.
