Heriz
Heriz is a city located in northwestern Iran and near the city of Tabriz (a major rug-weaving
center in Iran). Heriz rugs are very famous worldwide. They have their own very unique style
and are easily distinguishable from other styles. Their most famous design consists of a very
large diamond medallion or a star-like floral medallion with eight petals and corners very
similar to the centerpiece medallion. These corners are sometimes square or rectangular. The
pattern is almost always geometric. Usually the background is very crowded; however,
sometimes they have a plain background, especially the older rugs. Although not as
common, some Heriz rugs have an all-over layout often with geometric floral motifs such the
shah abbasi and less frequently curvilinear floral motifs. The favorite colors of Heriz rug
weavers consist of brownish red, light and dark pink, light and dark blue and ivory. Blue is
normally used to add contrast. Today, Heriz style is copied by India, Pakistan, China and
Romania. Other market trade names such as Bakhshayesh, Mehraban, Serapi, or Gorevan
are also given to Heriz rugs. Serapi Serapi is a trade name given to better quality versions of
Heriz rugs thought to have been woven before 1900. Such rugs are sometimes called Serapi
Heriz.
Quality
The quality of Heriz rugs and carpets varies. Old antique Heriz carpets called Serapi are
very valuable and there are many buyers all around the world for antique Serapi.
Knots

knots, which varies, but averages around 120 KPSI
