Hand-Knotted Tabriz Persian Rug, 86 × 357 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 86 × 357 cm. The covered area is about 3.07 m² (2.8' × 11.7'). Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% Schurwolle mit Seide, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Size and placement

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

How it reads

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