Heriz Iran Rug 157 X 105 Cm

Iranian wool rug, cotton warp and weft, circa 1960. Very good condition. Strong and durable mat.

Located in Iranian Azerbaijan, east of Tabriz, Hériz is a town bringing together the production of neighboring villages such as Ahar, Goravan, Sérapi, Bakhshayesh... Hériz have the reputation of being solid carpets and very resistant to wear due to excellent quality wool (tied with the Turkbaff knot).

Beautiful Heriz in zaronim format. A central medallion as well as four spandrels stand out from a deep red background. An ecru border brightens the entire rug. It is relatively rare to find Heriz in this size.

Heriz rugs with geometric designs and a central medallion are inspired by a family tradition. At the end of the 19th century, traders from Tabriz had carpets woven in Hériz, bringing a more "refined" side. Despite this change, many weavers did not want to use cardboard and referred to traditional designs or "vaghirehs". At this time and until the start of the First World War, silk carpets were also made. They are now very rare and highly sought after.
