Overview

Origin Iran, format 240 × 365 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 8.76 m² of floor, about 7.9' × 12'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

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 Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
