Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug 80 × 115 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 80 × 115 cm. That is roughly 0.92 m² of floor, about 2.6' × 3.8'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

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

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.
