Oriental Rug Tabriz 150 x 150 cm Wool Hand-knotted

Täbriz Oriental Rug

Material and Craftsmanship

This hand-knotted Oriental rug combines virgin wool and silk in a clearly defined pile composition. The pile contains 90 percent virgin wool and 10 percent silk. Wool therefore forms the main part of the surface, bringing the qualities associated with a hard-wearing and insulating textile. The silk content adds a finer sheen and gives the patterned surface a more refined visual character.

The rug was hand-knotted in India. With this method, the pile is built knot by knot, allowing the weaver to translate the design into individual areas of colour and ornament. The stated density of approximately 300,000 knots per square metre supports a finely worked surface and the precise rendering of floral and geometric details. It remains a piece of handcraft rather than an industrially identical product.

This rug is offered as a one-off and comes with a carpet certificate. Its individual status is part of the product description. The combination of virgin wool and silk, the hand-knotted construction and the detailed pattern define its appearance. The condition is new and perfect.

Origin and Tradition

The name Täbriz refers to an important Persian carpet tradition. Täbriz is in the Iranian region of East Azerbaijan and is recognised as one of the established centres of Oriental carpet art. Its design vocabulary encompasses many different arrangements rather than one single fixed format. Floral ornament, ordered geometry and carefully divided fields may be brought together in varied ways. This range allows Täbriz designs to appear both formal and restrained.

For this piece, Täbriz identifies the design tradition rather than the place of manufacture. The rug was hand-knotted in India. It is therefore an Oriental rug, not a Persian rug made in Iran. Its pattern nevertheless draws on the established Täbriz vocabulary, with its emphasis on balanced structure, decorative precision and a carefully coordinated overall composition.

Täbriz carpet making developed over many generations. Designs, motifs and weaving methods were exchanged and refined within a long regional tradition. Medallion compositions, all-over arrangements and repeating ornaments can all be found within the broader Täbriz repertoire. What connects these approaches is the disciplined relationship between line, field and colour. The tradition is defined by this balance as much as by any particular motif.

A hand-knotted rug is not produced through a completely automated sequence. The design has to be interpreted in knots and colour sections, which requires attention to the order of the pattern and to the progression of the work. A dense knotting can support the rendering of small ornaments and fine lines. Here, India describes the place of production, while Täbriz describes the visual tradition informing the design.

This rug consequently brings together several distinct elements: Indian handcraft, a pile made from virgin wool and silk, and a pattern associated with the Täbriz tradition. Keeping these elements separate gives an accurate description of the piece. The name of a design tradition does not change the manufacturing origin. The rug is presented as a hand-knotted Oriental rug with a Täbriz design.

Design and Pattern

The pattern is described as traditional Oriental and Persian in style. It combines floral and geometric elements. Floral ornament introduces curved lines, leaf-like forms and a flowing decorative movement. Geometric details provide order, repetition and visual structure. Their coordinated use creates a pattern that is decorative while remaining clearly organised.

The palette moves from warm earth tones to lively accents. Earth colours provide a calm foundation and reinforce the traditional character of the design. Brighter accents add emphasis within that foundation rather than replacing it. This range allows the rug to work with a classic interior as well as with a more contemporary setting.

In a Täbriz-inspired composition, the relationship between ornament and ground is important. Floral motifs may move across the field, while geometric lines divide or stabilise the arrangement. Repetition gives the design continuity, and the hand-made execution preserves an individual quality in the finished piece. The visual effect therefore comes from the interaction of many details rather than from one isolated emblem.

The fine knotting supports a detailed reading of the pattern. Narrow lines, small ornaments and transitions between adjacent forms can be represented with clarity. At the same time, the complete composition remains coherent from a distance. Wool and silk respond differently to light: the wool gives the pile a fuller, more even presence, while silk can create restrained points of sheen within the drawing. This contrast reinforces the floral and geometric design.

Although the pattern is rooted in tradition, it is not limited to one historical type of room. Warm colours and lively accents can be placed in different interior settings. The rug may be used in a living room or dining room, and it can also be placed in a bedroom or hallway. It is best positioned where the design can be seen clearly and protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

Special Features

The defining details of this piece are its hand-knotted manufacture in India, its composition of 90 percent virgin wool and 10 percent silk, and its density of approximately 300,000 knots per square metre. The rug is new and in perfect condition. It is a one-off and is supplied with a carpet certificate.

The rug is suitable for use over underfloor heating. Its materials and construction also make it appropriate for everyday use. Virgin wool contributes a hard-wearing and insulating quality, while the silk content gives the pile a finer lustre. Routine care should be gentle: regular vacuuming with a carpet brush is recommended, while more intensive cleaning should be entrusted to a professional cleaner.

FAQ

How should I clean this Oriental rug?

For regular care, vacuum the rug gently using a carpet brush. This removes everyday dust without putting unnecessary stress on the pile. When a deeper clean is needed, professional rug cleaning is recommended. A specialist can treat the combination of wool and silk while helping to preserve the colours and the material structure. Strong or unsuitable cleaning products should not be applied without professional advice.

Can the rug be used with underfloor heating?

Yes. This Oriental rug is suitable for use over underfloor heating. Its material composition and hand-knotted construction are specified as suitable for this purpose. Virgin wool can help regulate temperature naturally, making the rug comfortable in both warmer and cooler seasons. Even with this suitability, the rug should be kept dry and cared for properly so that its materials and colours remain in good condition.

Where is the best place for the rug?

The rug is suitable for a living room or dining room and can also be used in a bedroom or hallway. Its traditional Oriental pattern, combining floral and geometric elements, can be integrated into a classic interior or used alongside more contemporary furnishings. Choose a position where the design remains visible and where the piece is protected from direct sunlight and moisture. This supports the long-term care of the wool and silk pile.
