At a glance

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 203 × 310 cm. It covers approximately 6.29 m², or 6.7' × 10.2'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool, silk, silk warp. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
