Description
A Persian Tabriz rug made from wool on a cotton base is an exquisite example of the artistry and craftsmanship that defines Persian carpets. Hand-knotted by expert carpet weavers, these rugs feature a super-strong weave that reflects both the skill of the artisans and the longevity of the product. Tabriz, located in northwestern Iran, has been a significant center for carpet weaving, renowned for producing some of the most finely woven rugs in the world.
The use of natural dyes, derived from plants, roots, and minerals, gives these rugs a vibrant yet elegant palette. Over time, the colors develop a unique patina, enhancing the rug’s beauty and deepening its hues, making it a true heirloom piece.
Design-wise, Tabriz rugs are celebrated for their intricate floral patterns, often set around a prominent central medallion. This medallion typically takes the form of a grand rosette or star-like motif, surrounded by elaborate floral and vine elements that radiate symmetrically across the rug. The artistry of the floral motifs extends to the borders, which are just as detailed as the central field, filled with repeating floral and vine designs that frame the medallion beautifully.
These rugs’ dense knotting allows for an extraordinary level of detail, capturing fine patterns with remarkable clarity. The refined floral designs, sturdy structure, and luminous natural dyes make Tabriz rugs not only a sophisticated addition to any interior but also a symbol of Persian cultural heritage and artistry.
