Tabriz Persian Rug 167 × 130 cm in Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

At a glance

This Tabriz comes from Iran and measures 167 × 130 cm. That is roughly 2.17 m² of floor, about 5.5' × 4.3'. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most important weaving centres in Persia.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% Schurwolle mit Seide in the pile over a 100% silk foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 700,000–799,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
