The type is unmistakable even before you look closely: a Tabriz, from the Persian city that has set the standard for workshop weaving for five centuries, here in a size of 249 x 197 cm (8'2" x 6'6"). Tabriz is best known for its command of the single, dominant medallion, drawn once and placed at the centre of the field. This piece takes the opposite approach, and it is signed by its workshop, Faradji.
The field is an open, warm ivory, and instead of one medallion it carries a dozen, each drawn separately rather than repeated from a single template. Fine curling vine tendrils link them loosely across the field, so the eye moves rather than settles. Colour appears in small doses throughout — navy, slate blue, terracotta, olive-black, mustard, sage — before gathering more fully in the border, a dusty salmon-pink ground filled with alternating dark floral palmettes, held in by narrow ivory guard stripes. The pile is even and fairly short, the outlines crisp, the surface a soft matte wool with only a light sheen.
That crispness comes from the symmetric, or Turkish, knot Tabriz weavers favour, tied here on a silk warp. Silk spins far finer than cotton, so the weaver can pack in more knots per square metre and still keep the weave stable — this rug sits at 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre, a density that takes months at the loom to complete. It is what lets each of those dozen medallions be drawn individually, in its own colours, without the design blurring into repetition. The wool pile, blended with silk and kept to 7 mm, holds that fine drawing at the surface rather than softening it.
A rug this size sits naturally under a dining table or in front of a sofa group, and this one is unusually easy to place: the ivory ground lifts a dark floor and settles quietly against pale ones, while the scattered medallions give a room something to look at without any one point pulling attention away from the furniture around it. Underfoot it is dense and firm, built for daily use rather than display. Move around it through the day and the light catches that faint sheen differently across each medallion, so the field never quite reads the same way twice.
More on Tabriz rugs: origin, making and how to recognise a genuine piece
Exceptionally fine weave
At 249 × 197 cm (4.91 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 4.91 m² that is roughly 2.5 to 3.1 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.
