Tabriz Persian Rug 145 × 210 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 145 × 210 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.05 m² (4.8' × 6.9'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% silk. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

How it reads

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