Wool & Silk Tabriz Persian Rug 150 × 223 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

A Tabriz from Iran, measuring 150 × 223 cm. The covered area is about 3.35 m² (4.9' × 7.3'). 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% silk. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

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

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
