Tabriz Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 60 × 90 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

A Tabriz from Iran, measuring 60 × 90 cm. That is roughly 0.54 m² of floor, about 2' × 3'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

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

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
