Product Description
About This Tabriz Rug
This magnificent semi antique Tabriz Persian rug, measuring 10'6" x 7'7", showcases the refined artistry that has made Azerbaijan's historic carpet capital legendary for over eight centuries. The cream foundation elegantly supports intricate Eslimi arabesque motifs intertwining with a central medallion, while camel, brown, taupe, and charcoal tones create sophisticated depth throughout this masterful composition.
Tabriz emerged as Persia's premier weaving center during the Safavid dynasty, when royal workshops produced carpets for palaces across the empire. The city's strategic position along ancient Silk Road trade routes brought together master artisans from diverse regions, fostering the innovative techniques that define authentic Tabriz craftsmanship. This semi antique piece carries four to six decades of gentle aging that has mellowed its natural wool and cotton fibers into the perfect patina collectors cherish.
The classical Toranj medallion radiates geometric precision while delicate Eslimi patterns flow like calligraphy across the field, representing the infinite nature of divine creation in Persian tradition. These arabesque motifs, known as Eslimi in Farsi, symbolize the eternal cycle of life and reflect the spiritual philosophy woven into every authentic Persian carpet. The symmetrical Ghiordes knots create exceptional durability while allowing intricate detail work that showcases the weaver's extraordinary skill.
Cream serves as the foundation of wisdom and purity, while warm camel and rich brown tones evoke the desert landscapes that inspired ancient Persian poetry. Sophisticated taupe and deep charcoal accents provide contemporary elegance that complements both traditional and modern interiors. This versatile 10'6" x 7'7" foot size works beautifully as a dining room centerpiece, living room anchor, or grand bedroom statement piece, bringing timeless Persian heritage to any refined space.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure elevates any room with authentic artistry that cannot be replicated by machines, offering the discerning collector an opportunity to own a piece of Persia's greatest weaving tradition. Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional Tabriz as a testament to the enduring beauty of Persian carpet art, where every knot tells the story of ancient craftsmanship passed down through generations of master weavers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Tabriz rug genuinely hand-knotted?
Yes. This rug is 100% hand-knotted. Every single knot was tied individually by hand by a skilled weaver in Azerbaijan, Persia. It is not machine-made, hand-tufted, or hand-hooked. The knot structure is clearly visible on the reverse side of the rug, confirming its authentic hand-knotted construction.
What does the age classification mean for this Tabriz rug?
This Tabriz rug is classified as antique, meaning it is 100 years old or more. By international convention and U.S. Customs standards, a rug must be at least 100 years old to qualify as antique. Antique Persian rugs are the most prized category among collectors, valued for their historical significance, natural dye patina, aged wool softness, rarity, and the way their colors have mellowed and deepened beautifully over a century or more of careful use.
Where does the Tabriz rug originate?
This Tabriz rug originates from Azerbaijan, Persia. The Azerbaijan region has a long and distinguished history of rug weaving, with local artisans developing their own distinctive design vocabulary, color traditions, and technical approaches that set their rugs apart from other Persian weaving centers. The city rug category from this region is particularly known for its eslimi (arabesque), medallion (toranj) design traditions.
What knot type was used to weave this Tabriz rug?
This Tabriz rug was woven using the symmetrical Turkish knot, also known as the Ghiordes knot. In this technique, the pile yarn is looped symmetrically around two adjacent warp threads, producing a more robust and raised pile than the asymmetrical Persian knot. This knotting technique is characteristic of some Kurdish, Caucasian, and tribal Persian weaving traditions.
Is this rug one of a kind?
Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. As an authentic hand-knotted Persian rug, no two examples are identical. Only one of this exact rug is available in our collection. Once sold, this specific piece cannot be reordered or replicated. Every hand-knotted Persian rug is a unique artifact of its weaver's skill, materials, and creative expression.
Does this rug come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. Every rug purchased from Los Angeles Home of Rugs includes a Certificate of Authenticity documenting the rug's origin, age, materials, construction method, and appraised value. This certificate is accepted by major U.S. insurance providers and supports resale, estate, and auction documentation.
How do I care for this wool, silk rug?
Vacuum gently without a beater bar once a week in the direction of the pile. Rotate the rug every 6 to 12 months to ensure even wear. For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth without rubbing. For deep cleaning, use a professional Persian rug cleaning specialist who uses hand-washing methods appropriate for natural wool, silk fibers and aged dyes.
