Tabriz Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 86 × 323 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 86 × 323 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.78 m² (2.8' × 10.6'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 800,000–899,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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