About This Tabriz
Where it comes from
This is a Tabriz runner, 348 x 82 cm (11'5" x 2'8"), from the Persian city that has set the standard for workshop weaving for five centuries. Tabriz work is drawn to a plan rather than knotted from memory, and its weavers are known above all for the central medallion, the one motif every apprentice must eventually master. This piece carries a signature, woven into a small cartouche near one end of the field, naming the workshop, Pirozian.
What you see
The field reads as a deep navy, almost black in places, filled edge to edge with the fine diamond lattice of a Mahi, or Herati, repeat, its rosettes in rust and terracotta set against the dark ground. That repeat runs the full length of the runner without pause, which makes the single lobed medallion at its centre, worked in pale cream, stand out with real force. The wide border holds the pattern together, its bands of camel, gold and cream carrying a run of small palmettes, and against the near-black field it reads almost as a frame of its own.
How it was made
The crispness of that pattern comes from two things working together. Tabriz weavers use the symmetric, or Turkish, knot, which locks each stitch square to the one beside it and holds every edge of the lattice exact rather than blurred. At a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre, that precision is carried across the full 348 centimetres without a single motif drifting off line, which at this scale is months of steady work at the loom. The pile itself is wool with an admixture of silk, finer than wool alone, and it is that silk that gives the surface its light, even sheen and lets the cream of the medallion sit so cleanly against the navy around it.
At home
A runner this size belongs in a hallway or along a landing, somewhere the eye travels its length rather than taking it in at a glance. The navy holds its own even where daylight is limited, and the ivory medallion gives the space one clear point to rest on rather than pattern running past unbroken. Underfoot the pile is fine, flat and firm, well suited to a hallway that sees daily use rather than a room kept for best. Catch it from the side as the light shifts and the silk in the pile takes on a faint, moving sheen, brightest exactly where the medallion breaks the dark.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 348 × 82 cm (2.85 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
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 2.85 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.4 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.
