Tabriz, Wool and Silk on Silk
This finely woven Tabriz carpet is crafted with wool and silk on a pure silk foundation, featuring approximately half a million knots per square metre. The layout is a testament to the weaver’s precision, an intricate medallion framed by scrolling vines and delicate floral motifs, all balanced with remarkable symmetry and grace.
Tabriz is one of the oldest and most influential carpet-weaving cities in Persia. For centuries, it served as a major trading hub and entry point into the Persian heartland. Western traders roamed its bazaars, sometimes setting up looms and contributing to a fertile exchange of ideas, but the essence of Tabriz weaving has always remained rooted in its own culture. It is a city shaped by the convergence of ancient civilisations, and this rich heritage continues to inspire its designers and master weavers. The result is a weaving tradition that is inventive, deeply expressive, and technically accomplished.
Perfection in a hand-knotted rug reflects mastery across many skills, but none would suffice to conjure the charm of extraordinary pieces like this one without a strong dose of love.
