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.

The pattern of this rug takes its inspiration from the designs of classic Chinese Tabriz rugs. This rug, however, was knotted in China.

Material

The pile of this Chinese Tabriz was hand-knotted from cork wool and silk. Cork wool, also spelled kurk wool, is a particularly fine-threaded knotting yarn that feels almost velvety. It is taken from the neck, the belly and the inner legs of the sheep and is of especially high quality. The pattern of this Chinese Tabriz is picked out in lustrous pure silk, which is reeled 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 Chinese Tabriz are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

This Chinese Tabriz has a history. There is only one small, faint patch of discolouration, and it is barely noticeable. It was knotted around 1990. We have cleaned it thoroughly and restored it with care. Despite its age, it is therefore in very good condition.

A note on the photos

The colours of this rug change depending on which side you look at it from. It all depends on whether the light falls with the nap of the pile or against it. That is why we have photographed the rug from several angles.
