Description
Heriz

The Heriz area in northern Azerbaijan Province (Iran) makes semi-geometric, strongly colored carpets in a variety of sizes from 2’ x 3’ up to 15’ x 26’, usually in medallion design, but formerly in a wide range of overall or centralized layouts. The area has been active for at least two centuries, with production expanding greatly in the late 19th century. Weave is medium to quite coarse but the dyes are excellent and vibrant. Silk rugs were made there in the 19th century, but production ceased by 1910. The Heriz carpet has been the most consistently popular and affordable oriental available for western consumption.
