A PERSIAN HERIZ RUG, NORTH WEST PERSIA
Consists of basic geometric or nature-derived patterns set in vibrant color palettes ranging from monochromatic (reds) to strongly-contrasting, multi-colored (primary colors) fields featuring highly-saturated reds and brilliant greens (often with a blue background color in the spandrel) and typically with black, white or gold outlining, and last, but certainly not least, a prominent medallion - usually featuring an 8-pointed star (star-like figure) inside a diamond-shaped hexagon occupying up to 50% of the entire rug.
Persian Heriz Rugs are made in villages near the city of Tabriz in the north western part of modern day Iran. The craftsmen of this area use Turkish Knott to weave beautiful capets with simple and stylized designs that are very appealing to the eye
