Wool and silk pile on silk foundation | Late 20th century

Creating a rug of this calibre begins long before a single knot is tied. Months are spent preparing, first, a designer must envision and draft the intricate pattern, translating the idea into a detailed “cartoon” on graph paper where each square represents a single knot. For a curvilinear design of this complexity, the drafting process alone can take months.

Simultaneously, skilled hands spin and dye the wool and silk, selecting colours with precision. Only after these extensive preparations do the weavers begin their task—tying nearly eight million knots over the course of a year or more.

This magnificent Tabriz rug, woven in wool and silk pile on a silk base, reflects not only craftsmanship but also a deep cultural commitment. The artistry involved goes far beyond aesthetics, it's an expression of identity and national pride passed down through generations. The result is a regal piece with graceful movement in design, radiant colours, and extraordinary finesse, a masterpiece for refined interiors.
