The town of Heriz in the region of Azerbaijan is a major carpet center and lies roughly halfway between the cities of Tabriz and Ardebil. Influenced by the nearby Caucasus, the motifs of the Heriz carpets are strongly geometric / graphically drawn. Heriz carpets are relatively coarsely knotted and have a pile made of soft, durable wool. The under fabric is made of cotton. Carpets from the surrounding area are also collected and traded in Heriz. The most famous among these are Ahar, Bakhshayesh, Geravan, Karaja, Mehraban.

The patterns are often geometrically drawn in a classic arrangement with a central medallion and corner gussets. Heriz carpets made of silk are very rare. These are usually from the period 1880 - 1920 and are very popular with collectors.
