Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug, 200 × 152 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Tabriz of 200 × 152 cm. It covers approximately 3.04 m², or 6.6' × 5'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

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.

How it reads

The stated colourway is black and grey. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
