Tabriz Pakistani Rug 77 × 370 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 77 × 370 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.85 m² (2.5' × 12.1'). 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 5mm.

Where it fits

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

How it reads

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

Age and condition

Stated condition: new.
