Wool Tabriz Persian Rug 78 × 200 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 78 × 200 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.56 m² (2.6' × 6.6'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

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 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.

Period
