Tabriz Rugs
Technical Precision Meets Artistic Mastery
The Story
Tabriz is one of Persia's great weaving capitals, known for technical precision and remarkably varied design, from classic medallions to pictorial and "Four Seasons" compositions. Many Tabriz rugs use the symmetrical (Turkish) knot, producing a tight, firm fabric that feels clean and well-defined.
If you want a rug that combines artistry with disciplined craftsmanship, Tabriz is a benchmark. For over five centuries, Tabriz has set the standard for Persian carpet excellence, producing pieces that have graced royal courts from Istanbul to St. Petersburg.
Tabriz weavers are renowned for their exceptional eye for color balance and their mastery of the central medallion design that has become synonymous with Persian luxury.
