This is a hand-knotted Tabriz — sometimes spelled Tabrīz — from the weaving city of that name in north-western Iran, long regarded as a benchmark of Persian workshop craft, measuring 288 x 201 cm (9'5" x 6'7"). Tabriz workshops are known above all for precision drawing and, most often, a central medallion; this piece sets that expectation aside for a dense, all-over Mahi lattice, signed along the left edge by the Pirozian workshop.
The first impression is warmth: a camel-beige field, tightly patterned, reading almost like a woven textile. Across it runs a repeating Mahi diamond lattice, each cell outlined in rust-red and dark navy, drawn small and precise. There is no medallion to draw the eye to a centre; the pattern continues, even and unbroken, to the edge. A wide border closes the field — gold-ochre ground, dark navy floral cartouches, rust-red guard stripes, and terracotta-pink accents — taking close to a fifth of the rug's width.
This precision comes from the symmetric, or Turkish, knot that Tabriz workshops favour, tied here at a density of between 441,000 and 500,000 knots per square metre — a fineness that takes months at the loom and keeps even small motifs crisp rather than blurred. The pile mixes wool with silk; silk spins far finer than wool, so the weaver can pack more knots into the same space and cut a sharper edge on every diamond. At 7 mm the pile sits low and close.
At just under three metres by two, this rug suits a dining table or a seating group in a living room. Its camel warmth sits comfortably against pale floors and darker furniture alike. Underfoot the weave is dense and firm, made for daily use. Daylight draws a soft sheen from the wool-silk pile, and the rust-red and navy lattice shifts gently through the day.

Superior craftsmanship
At 288 × 201 cm (5.79 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 5.79 m² that is roughly 2.6 to 2.9 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
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.
