Product Description
About This Tabriz Rug
This magnificent semi antique Tabriz Persian rug, measuring an ideal 9'9" x 6'7", presents a harmonious blend of camel and cream tones that create an atmosphere of refined elegance in any sophisticated interior. Woven four to six decades ago in the legendary carpet workshops of Tabriz, this exceptional piece showcases the enduring artistry of Persian master weavers who have perfected their craft across generations. The intricate medallion design, known as Toranj, dominates the center field with sublime precision, while delicate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesque motifs dance throughout the composition, creating a visual symphony that speaks to centuries of Persian artistic tradition.
Tabriz, situated in the northwestern region of Persia along ancient Silk Road trade routes, has been celebrated for over five centuries as one of the most prestigious carpet weaving centers in the Persian empire. The city's strategic position as a commercial hub allowed Tabriz weavers to access the finest materials and exchange artistic influences with craftsmen from across the known world, resulting in rugs of unparalleled sophistication and technical excellence. This particular rug embodies the classical Tabriz aesthetic with its symmetrical Ghiordes knots creating a dense, durable foundation that has preserved its beauty through decades of use while developing the coveted patina that only authentic semi antique pieces possess.
The color palette of this stunning Tabriz rug tells a story of Persian symbolism and natural beauty, with warm camel tones representing the vast deserts of ancient Persia, while cream and ivory hues symbolize purity and spiritual enlightenment in Persian culture. Accents of sage green evoke the verdant gardens of Persian poetry, rust red speaks to the clay earth of the homeland, and golden threads catch light like precious metal, creating depth and luminosity that changes throughout the day. Brown undertones ground the composition, providing stability and earthiness that makes this rug a perfect foundation piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize that this one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any space from ordinary to extraordinary, transforming rooms with its authentic Persian heritage and timeless appeal. The 9'9" x 6'7" foot dimensions make this rug exceptionally versatile for dining rooms, studies, bedrooms, or as a stunning focal point in living areas where its semi antique character can be properly appreciated. The natural wool and cotton construction ensures longevity while the silk highlights add lustrous accents that capture and reflect light beautifully, creating visual interest that never grows tiresome.

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.

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.
