Tabriz Rugs
A superb example of Tabriz weaving heritage, this 11x8 ft Semi Antique rug showcases the celebrated Medallion design of Azerbaijan, rendered here in rich tones of Red, Cream with the authority of long tradition. Tabriz rugs
represent the absolute pinnacle of Persian classical rug weaving - produced in Tabriz, the ancient capital of East Azerbaijan and one of Persia's foremost cultural and commercial centers for over a thousand years. The city's
weaving workshops have set the standard for technical excellence and artistic ambition in rug production worldwide since at least the fifteenth century, and their productions have been prized by kings, emperors, and connoisseurs
across five continents for over five hundred years.
Tabriz weavers command an extraordinary range of compositional approaches: grand medallion compositions with intricate arabesque fields dense with Shah Abbasi palmettes and cloud bands; detailed hunting scenes animated with
galloping horsemen and magnificent birds of prey; paradise garden patterns organizing the field into an architectural vision of the enclosed Persian garden; and elaborate vase carpet designs of breathtaking complexity. No other
weaving center in the world approaches this breadth of design mastery.
The technical quality of Tabriz rug production is simply unmatched. Woven on cotton or silk foundations using the Turkish symmetrical knot at densities reaching 200 to 800 knots per square inch in the finest examples, Tabriz rugs
achieve a level of detail, precision, and chromatic subtlety that transforms wool or silk pile into something comparable to a painted canvas of the very highest order.
A genuine Tabriz rug is simultaneously a significant work of art and a sound long-term financial investment. The combination of premium materials - finest Corij wool or lustrous silk - master-level craftsmanship, and time-honored
designs of enduring cultural significance ensures that fine Tabriz rugs increase in both beauty and monetary value with each passing decade. The great auction houses consistently achieve remarkable prices for quality antique and
semi-antique Tabriz rugs.
