Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug, 71 × 48 cm

The piece in short

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 71 × 48 cm. It covers approximately 0.34 m², or 2.3' × 1.6'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 6 mm. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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
