Sharbian rug originate from Sharbian, located in the Province of Azerbaijan in northwestern Iran close to Heriz. Sharbian enjoys the same rich history of Persian carpet making as its neighbor Heriz. Due in large part to their close proximity geographically, the similarities in both color and design in a Persian carpet from Sharbian and one from Heriz are quite striking. The art of Persian carpet weaving in Sharbian is much as it was thousands of years ago. The skilled artisans learn their craft from elder family members and it continues even today to be passed down through the generations. The looms used to create Sharbian rugs have not changed much in millennia and Turkish knots are still used.

The Turkish ([[Symmetrical Knot|symmetric]]) knot is employed. Sharabians are durable as floor coverings because weavers tightly hammer the wefts during production. Sharabian sizes woven range from small mats to approximately fourteen feet by ten feet. A majority of carpets were made in standard dimensions of twelve feet by nine feet. Sharabian carpets are good in grade quality and are known to be durable.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.526-527</ref>
