Tabriz was once the leading centre for the trade of Persian carpets and rugs. Its proximity to western markets, coupled with its accessibility via road transportation, made it a prime destination for European importers. The city and its surrounding villages have a rich carpet-making history that dates back thousands of years.
What sets Tabriz carpets apart is the wide variety of designs created by the weavers, likely a result of the diverse cultural influences in the area. These carpets are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and charming. They are a reflection of the artistry and culture of the past and can add elegance to any interior decor.
The Tabriz carpet featured here is from the 1950s and showcases a charming design and colour combination. The rug's patina, which is only found in carpets made with hand-spun wool and natural dyes, adds to its beauty and uniqueness.
