Tabriz (Heriz), Tribal

This 2'7" × 3'10" Heriz rug is a small but striking Persian piece with a bold, jewel-like presence. The design features a powerful central medallion surrounded by deep navy, rich red, sky blue, green, gold, ivory, and warm coral accents. Even in a small size, the rug carries a strong visual impact, with detailed borders and a balanced composition that feels both traditional and decorative.

What makes this rug especially attractive is the combination of Tabriz refinement and Heriz tribal strength. The medallion has the bold geometric character often associated with Heriz designs, while the detailed floral border and careful color placement show the elegance and precision of Tabriz weaving. The result is a rug that feels rich, artistic, and full of Persian character.

Historically, Tabriz has been one of Persia’s most important weaving centers, known for fine craftsmanship, detailed patterns, and artistic excellence. Heriz, located in northwest Persia near Tabriz, is famous for stronger tribal and geometric designs, especially bold medallions and expressive angular forms. This rug beautifully brings those two traditions together: the sophistication of Tabriz and the strength of Heriz.

Hand-knotted from wool, this rug offers natural durability, softness, and warmth. Its smaller size makes it perfect for an entryway, bedside, small sitting area, office, powder room, or as a decorative accent layered with other rugs. More than simply a small carpet, this Tabriz (Heriz) rug is a piece of Persian heritage, bringing color, history, and handmade charm into the home.
