Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug 206 × 308 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 206 × 308 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.34 m² of floor, about 6.8' × 10.1'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

Construction

Pile material is given as 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, warp as 100% cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 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.
