Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug, 105 × 153 cm

The piece in short

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 105 × 153 cm. That is roughly 1.61 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
