REZAS VILL AGE RUGSHerizHeriz rugs are Persian rugs from north-western Iran, northeast of Tabriz, and areproduced in the village of the same name on the slopes of Mount Sabalan. They areknown for their larger sizes and robust surface which is from the high-quality woolsthat are knotted onto a cotton warp. This production method results in a durable rugthat has the potential to last for generations. Knot density of the Heriz rug is 150,000- 250,000 knots per sqm.A major factor in the durability of Heriz rugs is that Mount Sabalan sits on a majordeposit of copper. The traces of copper in the drinking water of sheep in the areaproduces a high-quality wool that is more resilient to abrasion than wool from otherareas.Heriz rug weavers often make the designs in bold, geometric patterns with a largemedallion in the centre. Such designs are passed down for generations and oftenwoven from memory.5657
