Tabriz

There is only one rug like this in black and beige: it brings together traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. A knot density of approx. 360,000 knots per m² makes the painstaking workmanship visible – right down to the fine execution of the details. At 200 × 200 cm it is well placed as a round dining-room rug. It cuts a fine figure in a conservatory, too. Colouring and texture lend 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 – is an especially fine-threaded knotting yarn with an almost velvety feel. It is taken from the neck, the belly and the inner legs of the sheep and is of particularly 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 shades, 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.

Condition

This Tabriz has a history. It was knotted around 2000. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partly restored, condition. Look closely and you will find a few light stains along the edge, caused by damage in transit. 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.
