Heriz, located in the north west tip of Iran, is an area well known for producing a very distinct style of carpet. Thought of by some as the ‘iron carpet’ of Persia, these rugs are extremely densely woven and incredibly heavy and hard-wearing.

The knot counts in Heriz carpets are low, (typically 50-80kps) so we’re not dealing with ‘fine’ weaving, but the density of warps, and the amount and toughness of the wool used.

There is usually much strength too in the designs, with powerful medallions overwhelming the remaining field of stylised floral motifs. Indeed if the carpets were finer, the designs would lose their real village charm and become too precise.

An acquired taste, highly recommended by The Large Rug Company!
