Hand-Knotted Wool Tabriz Persian Rug, 196 × 286 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 196 × 286 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 5.61 m² (6.4' × 9.4'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
