The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 157 × 108 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.7 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 3.5'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway
