Brown / Black252 x 348 cm

The Tabriz rug tradition hails from one of the oldest rug-weaving centres in the Middle East. Located in a historic city that has long served as a hub for artists and traders, Tabriz has been a cradle of textile innovation for centuries, blending local heritage with diverse cultural influences from along the ancient trade routes.

The term 40 Raj refers to a specific technical standard of knot density, serving as a measure of quality and craftsmanship. This designation indicates a precise number of knots across a set measurement, which directly determines the complexity of the patterns the weavers can achieve. A higher Raj count results in a finer, more detailed, and more resilient rug.

Visually, these rugs are celebrated for their sophisticated compositions, often featuring a central medallion surrounded by ornate floral motifs or intricate geometric patterns. The borders are typically as detailed as the field, creating a balanced and harmonious look that has defined the aesthetic of this region for generations.

Collectors and homeowners value these rugs for their enduring quality and the human story woven into every thread. Owning a piece from this tradition is an act of preserving a rich cultural legacy, as each rug represents a culmination of skill passed down through families of master weavers.

This rug is created through a rigorous hand-knotted process that requires immense patience and skill. By tying each knot individually by hand, the artisan ensures a level of structural integrity and pattern precision that simply cannot be achieved by machines.

With a total weight of 36 kg, this rug demonstrates the substantial amount of material and labour invested in its construction. This weight is a direct indicator of the density and quality of the finished product, promising a durable floor covering that stands the test of time.

The time and dedication poured into every square centimetre reflect a deep respect for the craft. The resulting piece is not just a floor covering, but a durable, high-quality investment that honours the traditional methods of its origin.
