Tabriz Indian Rug 246 × 246 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin India, format 246 × 246 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.05 m² of floor, about 8.1' × 8.1'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The rug is round. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age

Stated condition: new.
