Product Description
About This Tabriz Rug
This exceptional 13'5" x 10'0" semi antique Tabriz represents the sophisticated weaving mastery that has distinguished this Persian city for over eight centuries. The generous proportions create an impressive foundation piece that anchors large living spaces, formal dining rooms, or master bedrooms with commanding presence. Its beige, cream, and ivory palette, accented with sage green, rust red, and ochre tones, delivers timeless elegance that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.
From the historic weaving centers of Tabriz in Persian Azerbaijan, this rug carries forward traditions established when the city served as a crucial Silk Road trading hub. Tabriz weavers developed their renowned reputation through meticulous attention to detail and innovative design interpretations that blend classical Persian motifs with regional influences. The 40-60 year aging process has mellowed the original colors into the sophisticated earth tones visible today, while the symmetrical Ghiordes knots ensure structural integrity that will endure for generations.
The central medallion (Toranj) commands attention with its intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesques that cascade throughout the field. These classical Persian motifs carry deep cultural significance - the Shah Abbasi patterns honor the golden age of Persian art under Shah Abbas the Great, while the Eslimi designs represent the infinite nature of creation through their continuous flowing forms. The medallion's geometric precision contrasts beautifully with the organic movement of the surrounding botanical elements.
The harmonious color story unfolds through layers of beige and cream that provide a neutral foundation, while sage green accents add natural freshness and rust red details inject warmth and vitality. Taupe and sand tones create subtle depth, complemented by ochre highlights that catch and reflect natural light. Brown border elements frame the composition while gray undertones add sophisticated complexity to the overall palette. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece transforms any interior with its authentic Persian artistry and commanding scale.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this remarkable Tabriz as an investment in both beauty and heritage, where the generous 13'5" x 10'0" foot dimensions provide ample coverage for substantial furniture arrangements while the semi antique patina ensures immediate integration into established decor schemes. The natural wool and cotton construction, enhanced with silk highlights, creates lustrous surface variations that shift beautifully throughout the day as lighting conditions change.

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), shah abbasi, eslimi (arabesque) 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.
