This is a Tabriz, hand-knotted in the workshop city of Persia's northwest, 214 x 148 cm (7'0" x 4'10"). Tabriz has drawn the templates for classical Persian medallion design for five centuries, and its weavers are known above all for balance of colour and command of the central medallion. What is unusual here is the palette: this piece is worked entirely in pastels, where Tabriz medallions are more often rendered in deep jewel tones.
An open ivory field carries a central medallion with pendants radiating outward, held in dusty pink, sage green, powder blue and a soft terracotta red, with small touches of navy set in as quiet punctuation. Dense floral spandrels fill the corners in the same restrained register. The wide camel-toned border, taking up roughly a fifth of the width, repeats the palette rather than contrasting against it, so the whole rug reads as one continuous, airy composition rather than a field framed against a darker edge. A light sheen sits in the pastel motifs, catching most where the wool carries silk.
The softness of that palette is a product of the weave, not despite it. The warp is silk, which spins far finer than cotton and lets the knot sit tighter — here to a density of 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre, achieved with the symmetric Turkish knot Tabriz is known for, which locks each knot square and gives the motif its clean, unblurred edge. That density is what allows a colour transition as fine as dusty pink into ivory to hold its shape rather than blur, and at this size it represents several months of work at the loom. The piece carries the weaver's signature, a mark of a workshop standing behind its own work.
At 214 x 148 cm this rug suits a bedroom or a quiet seating corner rather than a large dining table, somewhere it is seen up close and often. Against pale floors it will not compete for attention the way a jewel-toned medallion would; against darker furniture the ivory field lifts the room without raising its voice. The pile is fine and dense underfoot, a 7mm depth that feels substantial without being deep, suited to a room that is walked in rather than only passed through. As daylight moves across it through the day, the pastel tones shift gently rather than flare, which is exactly the quality this rug was made to hold.

Exceptionally fine weave
At 214 × 148 cm (3.17 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.
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 3.17 m² that is roughly 1.6 to 2.0 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.
