Geometric Navy design. Handsome details. Unusual size. From the area of Persia near Azerbaijan. Associated with rugs from the Heriz area. The Heriz rug is now the Iron Rug of Iran. Heriz are thick, tough, and often inexpensive rugs that appeal strongly to the US market. The Heriz rug is produced in the Northwest corner of Iran on and around Mount Sabalan. Part of the reason for the toughness of Heriz carpets is that Mount Sabalan is sitting on a major deposit of Copper. Trace copper in the drinking water of the sheep produces the highest quality of rug wool. The copper makes the wool stronger and far more resilient than wool from most other areas. Heriz rugs include rugs from the towns of Ahar, Heriz, Mehraban, Sarab, Serapi, Bakhshaish, and Gorevan. -asia/Rugs/Persian/Heriz/Heriz_Rugs_and_Carpets.htm
