About This Tabriz
Where it comes from
This is a Tabriz, from the great workshop city of north-west Persia, sized 354 x 248 cm (11'7" x 8'2"). Tabriz has set the standard in Persian carpet weaving for five centuries, prized above all for precision of line and mastery of the classical medallion. This particular piece is signed by the master weaver Abdollahi, and the drawing shows exactly why that name matters.
What you see
An ivory field carries a fine, all-over lattice of small diamonds, the mahi, or fish, pattern repeated without a break. Across it floats a large oval medallion in deep aubergine-brown, its core a warm terracotta rosette, the scalloped edge drawn so evenly it looks almost compass-cut. Two small pendant finials extend the medallion at either end, giving it an elongated silhouette rather than the usual single teardrop. A broad navy-black border closes the field, filled with rust, gold and dusty pink palmettes, dark enough to hold the pale ground firmly in place.
How it was made
That evenness comes from the symmetric, or Turkish, knot that Tabriz workshops favour, which locks each tuft square against the next and lets a drawn cartoon come through with almost no drift. The pile here is wool with an admixture of silk, clipped to seven millimetres and set on a cotton warp, at a density of 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre. Silk takes a finer twist than wool, so more knots fit into the same span, which is what gives the medallion's edge its uncommon crispness. A rug at that density is months of a weaver's year, spent here under Abdollahi's own signature.
At home
At 354 x 248 cm this is a dining-room or living-room rug, sized for a table and chairs or a generous seating group. The ivory ground lifts a room with dark floors or dark furniture, while the aubergine medallion and navy border give it enough weight to hold its own under a large table rather than disappear beneath it. Underfoot the pile sits dense and firm, seven millimetres of wool and silk knotted tightly enough for daily use. As daylight moves across it through the day, the silk catches along the medallion's scalloped edge, and the precision of that drawing is never quite still.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 354 × 248 cm (8.78 m²) this is a very large rug. It carries a whole seating group with every furniture leg on it, or a dining table with the chairs pushed back. In a small room it becomes the floor rather than a rug.
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 8.78 m² that is roughly 4.4 to 5.6 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.
