Definition
Durable, geometric village carpets from the Heris area of East Azerbaijan, with large angular medallions.
History
Heriz rugs became popular in Europe and America from the late 19th century for their hard-wearing wool and bold geometric designs.
Dates and attributions here summarise common positions in the literature and are under editorial review; they are not definitive.
Technique
Symmetrical (Turkish) knots, thick pile and designs woven from memory or simple drawings, which gives them their angular look.
Collecting and identification
Heriz rugs are valued for durability; check for even wear and past repairs. 'Heriz style' rugs made in other countries are common.
