Tabriz Persian Rug 150 × 198 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

Overview

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 150 × 198 cm. The covered area is about 2.97 m² (4.9' × 6.5'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

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 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

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