Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug 70 × 118 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Tabriz from Iran, measuring 70 × 118 cm. It covers approximately 0.83 m², or 2.3' × 3.9'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

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