At a glance

Origin Iran, format 151 × 149 cm — a Tabriz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.25 m² of floor, about 5' × 4.9'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is square. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

Colour and appearance

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