Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug 62 × 90 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 62 × 90 cm. The covered area is about 0.56 m² (2' × 3'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
