Tabriz Indian Rug — hand-knotted, 351 × 250 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Tabriz comes from India and measures 351 × 250 cm. The covered area is about 8.78 m² (11.5' × 8.2'). 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.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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