Dark red / Brown152 x 200 cm

Tabriz rugs hail from one of the oldest weaving centres in the Middle East, located in the historic city of Tabriz. This region has long been a crossroads of culture and trade, allowing its weavers to synthesise diverse artistic influences into a distinct, highly recognisable style that is celebrated worldwide for its technical excellence.

The term '50 Raj' refers to a specific system of measurement used to denote the fineness of the knotting. It indicates a high number of knots per unit of width, which directly translates to a more detailed and complex design. This technical standard is a hallmark of superior quality, ensuring that the finished rug has a smooth, refined texture and sharp, clear motifs.

Visually, Tabriz rugs are known for their sophisticated balance. They often feature a central medallion or a dense all-over floral pattern, framed by elaborate borders that frame the composition. The colour palettes tend to be rich and carefully curated, using deep reds, ivories, and blues to create a look that is both ornate and structurally harmonious.

These rugs are highly prized by collectors for their combination of artistic vision and functional durability. Owning a piece from this tradition is more than just acquiring a rug; it is a commitment to preserving an ancient craft that relies on the steady hands and experienced eyes of master weavers. It is a legacy piece that offers lasting value.

This piece is meticulously hand-knotted, a labour-intensive process where each individual knot is tied by hand onto the foundation. This method ensures a level of structural integrity and pattern clarity that simply cannot be achieved through mechanical production.

With a density of 490,000 knots per m2, the creation of this rug represents a massive investment of time and human effort, often requiring several months of work by skilled artisans. This high knot count is the key to the rug’s exceptionally fine pattern detail and its ability to withstand daily wear while remaining soft and dense.

The substantial weight of 9.1 kg for this size further highlights the quality of the materials used and the density of the knotting. This physical presence is a testament to the artisan's commitment to creating a durable, long-lasting floor covering that serves as a high-value investment for your home.
