Tabriz - A Tradition of Intricate Craftsmanship Honed in an Ancient City

Tabriz, an ancient city in northwestern Iran, is a production center with the longest history in Persian rug making. Centered around the grand bazaar and workshops, the intricate weaving tradition, which inherits 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 clearly defined. The unique variations in hand-tied knots create subtle expressions in how light is reflected on the surface. Tabriz rugs are known for their dense and robust construction due to their intricate weaving, and they become more familiar with extended use.
