About This Tabriz
Where it comes from
This is a Tabriz, one of Persia's great workshop cities, measuring 240 x 165 cm (7'10" x 5'5"). Tabriz weavers are best known for their central medallions and their command of colour balance, drawn from cartoons and knotted to a fixed plan. This particular piece, signed by the Pirozian workshop, carries no medallion at all, setting its dense Mahi lattice instead against a dark bottle-green ground rarely seen in the design.
What you see
The first impression is a deep, saturated green field, lit by a repeating diamond lattice in terracotta and dusty pink. The pattern runs edge to edge with nothing at the centre to interrupt it, each diamond holding a small rosette in rust or pale blue, so the eye travels across the whole field rather than settling on one point. A broad ivory border, filled with small palmettes and rosettes, frames the field, held between a narrow salmon-pink guard band and a plain dark green outer edge that echoes the ground. Against the ivory or red base more usual for a Mahi design, this deep green makes the terracotta lattice glow rather than simply sit on the surface.
How it was made
Tabriz rugs are knotted with the symmetric, or Turkish, knot, which locks each thread firmly in place and gives the weave the taut, clearly-drawn surface the city is known for. The pile here is wool with an admixture of silk, and silk spins far finer than wool, so wherever it is used the weaver can draw a sharper line — which is why the lattice keeps such a crisp edge even at this density. That density runs to 501,000-640,000 knots per square metre, a level that asks for months of steady work at the loom, and it is this fineness, together with the silk highlights, that lets the dark ground hold its colour without ever looking heavy.
At home
At 240 x 165 cm this Tabriz suits a living room seating area, laid where a sofa and chairs meet rather than against a wall. The bottle-green ground holds its own against dark furniture, and against a pale floor it warms the room rather than fading into it. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, the short pile built for daily use rather than for careful stepping-around. Move across it and the silk in the lattice catches the light in a way plain wool never would, so the terracotta diamonds seem to lift very slightly off that deep green field as you pass.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 240 × 165 cm (3.96 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre; across 3.96 m² that is roughly 2.0 to 2.5 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
