Tabriz
Craftsmanship and timeless elegance meet in this rug in dark red and light blue. A knot density of around 420,000 knots per m² makes the painstaking work visible – right down to the finely worked details. At 92 × 92 cm it is well placed as a round accent rug. It shows to equally good effect in a child's room. Colouring and texture give any room a homely, exclusive note – a one-of-a-kind piece that will last for years.

Origin
Standing on Persia's northern border at the crossroads of countless caravan routes, the city of Tabriz (also written Tabris or Täbriz) has always been a melting pot of different ethnic and religious groups. Although the city lies on the border with Azerbaijan, the dialect spoken in Tabriz is related to Turkish. The bazaars of Tabriz have traded in craftwork for centuries, and above all in rugs from the surrounding villages.
Material
The pile of this Tabriz is knotted from what is known as kork wool. Kork wool – also spelled kurk – is a particularly fine-threaded knotting yarn with an almost velvety feel. It is taken from the neck, the belly and the inner sides of the sheep's legs and is of especially high quality.The weft and warp threads of this Tabriz are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly suitable for a hard-wearing foundation weave.
Condition
You are not the first to take a liking to this Tabriz. It has had owners before you who valued and used it. It was knotted around 1980. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partly restored, condition. In a few places the pile has grown a little thin. We have not restored this Tabriz completely, because we feel it has a special charm just as it is. If you would rather we did, we will of course happily carry on restoring it for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
The rug trade against child labour: Children belong in school, not at a knotting or weaving loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour. We place particular importance on good working conditions and tolerate no child labour at our producers.
We are proud to be a member of the Care & Fair campaign against child labour.
The industry-wide campaign CARE & FAIR - the rug trade against child labour was founded in 1994. The initiative has made it its mission to fight the excesses of illegal child labour in the knotting countries and, at the same time, to improve the overall situation of rug knotters and their families in the knotting regions of India, Nepal and Pakistan.
Our goals:
- Ending illegal child labour in India and Pakistan.
- Creating better living conditions for knotters' families.
- Socially responsible production. We only accept goods that have been made under fair conditions. Working with our producers as partners, we want to make clear to them that taking on social responsibility benefits everyone.
Together with Care & Fair we currently support 10 schools, 6 adult education centres and 3 day clinics in India and Pakistan.
