Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug, 60 × 90 cm

At a glance

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 60 × 90 cm. It covers approximately 0.54 m², or 2' × 3'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
