The history of Armenian weavers working to produce rugs in Persia over the centuries points back to the origin of hand knotted rugs over 2500 years ago. Heriz designs may be recognized as Persian in the marketplace, yet they are a common cultural heritage like hummus is to the Levant. Everyone loves heriz and each weaving group has their favorite version and everyone claims to be the original creators. The color composition and quality of this rug is a fair enough reason to add it to your collection and it's Armenian production makes it a bit more rare. An ideal rug to work with traditional decor, try it at home for an office or study. Many of the Heriz rugs on our site are semi antique Persian Heriz rugs from Iran or new Indo Heriz rugs from India. This is one of two new single 8x10 Heriz rugs created in Armenia with a delightfully traditional composition of reds, cream, camel,tan, brown, blues and green accents.
