Persian Rug Tabriz 353 x 253 cm Wool & Silk Hand-knotted

Material and Craftsmanship

The materials stated are wool and silk in the pile together with silk in the warp. It was produced hand-knotted. The knot density is stated at 640,000 knots per square metre and lies within the range of 600,000 to 699,999 knots per square metre. The title designation 60 Raj denotes the measure of fineness of the Tabriz system. The shape is rectangular.

Origin and Tradition

Iran is given as the country of origin, the design style is Tabriz. A silk warp is used at high knot densities, since a finer warp permits closer knot spacing. At 60 Raj this piece sits in the upper range of the customary fineness figures.

Design and Pattern

The colour assignment is Multicolor. Several colour families are combined within one pattern. The worked-in silk sections stand out optically, since silk reflects light differently from wool.

Special Features

Condition: top condition. Knot density: (approx. 640,000 knots / m²). Colour: Multicolor. Material: wool and silk on silk warp. Fineness designation from the title: 60 Raj.

FAQ

What does a silk warp mean?

The warp forms the load-bearing framework of the weave. A warp of silk permits closer knot spacing and therefore higher knot densities.

What does the designation 60 Raj mean?

Raj is a measure of fineness used for Tabriz rugs. It denotes the number of knot rows over a defined distance. Higher values denote finer knotting.

How should the knot density be understood?

Knot density describes how many individual knots were worked into one square metre of surface. The higher the value, the finer the pattern detail that can be executed. This piece is at approximately 640,000 knots per square metre.
