Tabriz — The Tradition of Intricate Weaving Honed in an Ancient City

Tabriz, an ancient city in the northwest of Iran, is the region most frequently mentioned in the history of Persian rugs. Centered around its central bazaar and workshops, the tradition of intricate weaving, passed down from palace ornamentation, is still preserved today. This piece features a classic design woven in the workshop tradition of Tabriz.

Intricate Hand Weaving, Solid Construction

With a density of approximately 510,000 knots per square meter, the patterns are clearly defined. The slight variations in the knots, characteristic of hand weaving, create subtle nuances in how the light reflects off the surface. Tabriz rugs are known for their robust construction, tightly woven with intricate details, and become more familiar with extended use.
