Tabriz Persian Rug 205 × 308 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Tabriz from Iran, measuring 205 × 308 cm. The covered area is about 6.31 m² (6.7' × 10.1'). 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. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

Colour and appearance

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