Tabriz Persian Rug 248 × 337 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 248 × 337 cm. The covered area is about 8.36 m² (8.1' × 11.1'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

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

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

The stated colourway is red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
