Product Description
About This Tabriz Rug
This magnificent semi antique Tabriz Persian rug at 11'2" x 6'11" presents a harmonious blend of traditional medallion artistry and refined color sophistication that speaks to centuries of Persian weaving mastery. The central toranj medallion, rendered in deep crimson against a luxurious cream field, creates a focal point that draws the eye while delicate vase motifs throughout the border tell stories of Persian garden paradise and eternal beauty.
From the historic weaving centers of Tabriz in northwestern Persia, this rug carries forward the legacy of master weavers who served the Safavid courts and established the region as one of Persia's most prestigious carpet-producing areas. Tabriz artisans have been renowned since the 16th century for their ability to create rugs that balance geometric precision with flowing organic forms, and this piece exemplifies that tradition with its symmetrical knotting technique that ensures both durability and intricate detail preservation.
The sophisticated color palette of red, cream, ivory, gold, rust red, green, and blue reflects the Persian understanding of color as emotional language, where deep reds symbolize courage and passion, while cream and ivory represent purity and enlightenment. The subtle gold accents catch light beautifully, creating depth and movement throughout the design, while the gentle blue and green tones add coolness that prevents the warmer colors from overwhelming the composition.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece aged 40-60 years, this Tabriz rug has developed the perfect patina that elevates any space with authentic character that cannot be replicated in modern production. Its 11'2" x 6'11" foot dimensions make it ideal for dining rooms, spacious entryways, or as a statement piece in living areas where its semi antique status and museum-quality craftsmanship can be properly appreciated by guests and family alike.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional Tabriz specimen that represents the pinnacle of Persian rug artistry, where every knot tells a story of cultural heritage and every thread connects your home to the ancient traditions of Persian craftsmanship that continue to inspire collectors and decorators worldwide.

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 medallion (toranj), vase 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. Avoid steam cleaning or harsh chemical treatments.
