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.
