Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug, 80 × 252 cm

At a glance

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Tabriz of 80 × 252 cm. The covered area is about 2.02 m² (2.6' × 8.3'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour is recorded as Braun / Gelb. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
