Tabriz Persian Rug 82 × 317 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

A Tabriz from Iran, measuring 82 × 317 cm. That is roughly 2.6 m² of floor, about 2.7' × 10.4'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

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.
