Tabriz
This rug in light brown exists only once in exactly this form: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. With a knot density of approx. 490,000 knots per m², the painstaking workmanship shows above all in the precise drawing of the pattern and the fine execution of the details. At 220 × 158 cm it works beautifully as a living-room rug. It comes into its own just as well in an office. Colouring and texture give the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

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 was hand-knotted from kork wool and silk. Kork wool – also spelled kurk wool – is a particularly fine-stranded 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 pattern of this Tabriz is picked out in lustrous pure silk, which is obtained by hand from the cocoons of the silkworm. The silk elements create a shimmering contrast and make the colours glow in different facets, depending on how the light falls.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.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.
We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.
That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
