Heriz

Back to Glossary

A highly durable Iranian rug whose field is occupied by a large geometric medallion. Rugs from the Heriz region appeal strongly to the U.S. market and are produced in several qualities, including Mehraban, Heriz, and Goravan. Mehraban and Heriz refer to the finer, more densely knotted rugs, while Goravan refers to the lowest quality.
