Tabriz Persian Rug 150 × 219 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

A Tabriz from Iran, measuring 150 × 219 cm. That is roughly 3.29 m² of floor, about 4.9' × 7.2'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
