Summary

Sarab persian rugs similar to Heriz from the neighbouring town of Sarab, also sold under the name Heriz.

Heriz is located in Northwestern Iran, in Azerbaijan northeast of Tabriz. Extremely durable rugs with the same name are woven here, on the slopes of Mount Sabalan. The new Heriz rugs and rugs are thicker and very tightly woven. These rugs become more and more beautiful as they age. In the area high quality and very durable wool is produced, because the sheep's drinking water contains traces of copper which is found in Mount Sabalan. The rugs are often woven with geometric designs and a large medallion that dominates the centre. The designs are traditional and they are woven from memory. Black and red herbal colours are the most common.

Nomadic rugs: Rugs woven by nomads. Nomads move continuously and do not stay permanently in one geographic region. They manufacture (weave) handmade rugs on collapsible looms. Due to that fact there may be slight variations in weaving and their rugs are sometimes uneven in shape. Also the weaving is made from memory and it depends on each artisans momentary inspiration. As a result, the designs in some rugs are not even on the entire surface.

All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.

Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the rug. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the rugs. Examples
