The name of these carpets is associated with the village of Heris
or Herez to the North East of Tabriz. The stylistic decoration of the
“Heris” carpets is rather unique. The composition and common shapes of
the details are created on the basis of the composition “lachak turanj”,
which is formed by the foliate curve-linear patterns. However, with
time the patterns of this composition became dotted and created an
independent carpet pattern. Normally, the carpet was woven from memory,
without a sketch. There is not surprising because since the beginning of
the 16th century till the present day the craftsmen in Heris have
traditionally been making only this type of carpet, and they know
perfectly well its design and pattern. Note that the residents of Heris
are also renowned for production of flat-weave rugs – palases and
kilims.
