Visibility:
HERIZ rugs and carpets are the most famous Persian Rugs among collectors. The majority of HERIZ rugs and carpets have a large, single, eight-sided medallion. I should also mention that you find some tribal patterns that are made in surrounding villages such as Goravan.
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.
Size & Shapes:
HERIZ rugs and carpets come in different sizes, but the majority of them are mid-size (4 x 6 to 8 x 10 feet). You can also find large rugs up to 15 x 24 feet.
Color:
Light red, brown and sky blue. Blue is used as a contrasting and contour color. Newer carpets tent to be rather inharmoniously colored. Brown, beige, and turquoise shades indicate older pieces.
Texture:
Soft wool; thin, tight pile.
Foundation:
HERIZ rugs and carpets have cotton warp; weft is either cotton or wool.
Knots:
Weavers in HERIZ use Turkish knots. The quality of the carpet depends upon the number of knots, which varies, but averages around 120 KPSI (30 RAJ).
Price:
HERIZ carpets are the most attractive tribal pattern rug among western collectors. Prepare to pay $8-$24 Per Square Foot (PSF) for new carpets from HERIZ. You will pay much more for antique HERIZ rugs (Serapi).
