Tabriz — The Tradition of Intricate Detail Refined in an Ancient City

The ancient city of Tabriz in the authentic northwestern region is one of the oldest names in the history of Persian carpets. Centered around its grand bazaar and workshops, the tradition of intricate weaving, inheriting courtly decorative styles, is still passed down today. This piece is a classic design woven in the workshop lineage of Tabriz.

Finely Handwoven, Sturdy Construction

With approximately 320,000 knots per square meter, the outlines of the patterns are sharply defined. The natural variations in the knots, characteristic of handweaving, create subtle textures in how the surface catches the light. Tabriz carpets, with their intricately woven and densely knotted construction, are robust and become more familiar with extended use.
