Hand-Knotted Tabriz Persian Rug, 200 × 200 cm, Wool & Silk

The piece in short

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 200 × 200 cm. That is roughly 4 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 6.6'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

The rug is round. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.
