Tabriz Persian Rug 311 × 397 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 311 × 397 cm. That is roughly 12.35 m² of floor, about 10.2' × 13'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

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.
