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

The ancient city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran is a well-known production center with the longest history in Persian rug making. Centered around the grand bazaar and workshops, the tradition of intricate weaving, inherited from court decorations, is still passed down today. This piece is a classic design woven in a Tabriz workshop.

Intricate Hand-Weaving, Solid Construction

With approximately 510,000 knots per square meter, the outlines of the patterns are sharply defined. The variations in knots, unique to hand-weaving, create subtle expressions in how light is reflected on the surface. Tabriz rugs are known for their robust construction, with densely tied, intricate weaves that become more familiar and comfortable with prolonged use.
