This is a Tabriz, one of the great city-workshop rugs of Persia, measuring 302 x 200 cm (9'11" x 6'7"). Tabriz has set the standard for Persian medallion design for five centuries, its weavers known above all for precise, symmetrical drawing and an exceptional sense of colour balance. This piece stands in that same tradition, though its balance here is unusually quiet.
The field is a warm sand-beige shifting into grey-brown, covered edge to edge with a fine Mahi lattice that reads more as texture than pattern. Over it sits a scalloped medallion built from nested lobed layers in terracotta and ivory - its shape is what defines it, since the terracotta barely lifts above the beige field around it. A narrow multi-band border, palmette and vine in the same terracotta and beige, is held between thin dark guard stripes, keeping the same restrained register as the field.
That restraint is the result of deliberate work. The pile is wool with silk, knotted in the symmetrical Turkish knot Tabriz is known for, at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre - silk spins finer than wool, which is what lets a weaver draw the medallion's scalloped outline and the Mahi lattice this precisely at this scale. It is signed work from the Pirozian workshop, a name Tabriz collectors look for, and a density like this means months of steady knotting.
At 302 x 200 cm, this rug suits a dining table or a seating group in a living room. Its sand and terracotta warm a pale floor and hold their own against darker furniture. The clipped wool-silk pile, just 7mm deep, is firm and smooth underfoot, made for daily use. As light crosses it, the medallion's terracotta lifts gently from the field, quietly, and is noticed again each time.

Superior craftsmanship
At 302 × 200 cm (6.04 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 6.04 m² that is roughly 2.7 to 3.0 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.
