No. .The village of Heriz is located just west of Tabriz, in the Persian occupied part of Azerbaijan.Heriz rugs often can be distinguished by their straight-lined designs, a deviation from the traditional arabesques and rolls that are typical of Persian carpet manufacture.A large, central, striped medallion with corners or a full design with highly stylised flower patterns is quite typical. Repeated patterns occur less often.The pile is thick and heavy and the colour scheme is rich and varied.Older Heriz rugs had coloured bases and medallions, usually in indigo.The finer rugs use the "double outline" technique, in which the design of the rug is separated from the field by two lines in different colours.This type of rug often is large and durable, which makes it suitable for hallways and public areas. The wool is shortened to an average length. The rug is considered to be one of the best of the slightly simpler carpets in all of Persia.Take some time to study the carpet in detail and enjoy this work of art. Read More
