Brown / BlackRunner79 x 198 cm

Tabriz rugs originate from one of the oldest rug-weaving centres in the Middle East, located in the historic city of Tabriz. For centuries, this region has been a focal point for artistic exchange along the Silk Road, allowing weavers to incorporate diverse influences into their work. Today, Tabriz remains synonymous with technical excellence and high-design standards.

The designation '50 Raj' is a specific technical term used to describe the quality and fineness of the weave. In the context of Tabriz rugs, it refers to the number of knots within a 7 cm width. A 50 Raj classification indicates a high-density, fine-quality weave that allows for incredibly detailed and complex designs, ensuring the pattern remains crisp and clear even in smaller motifs.

The visual language of a Tabriz rug often centres on intricate, flowing floral patterns and medallions, frequently arranged with a central focus and balanced borders. These designs draw inspiration from classical architecture and garden layouts, reflecting a tradition of symmetry and grace. The use of varied, harmonious colours is a hallmark of this style, creating a sense of balance that feels both formal and inviting.

Owning a Tabriz rug is an investment in cultural heritage and skilled artistry. These rugs are highly prized by collectors for their consistency, durability, and the way they bridge the gap between traditional craft and elegant interior design. By choosing a piece from this tradition, you are connecting your home to a long lineage of master weavers who have dedicated their lives to perfecting this craft.

This runner is created using a traditional hand-knotted technique, a process that demands immense skill and patience. By tying each individual knot by hand, the artisan ensures a level of structural integrity and pattern clarity that simply cannot be achieved by machine-made alternatives.

With a density of 490,000 knots per m2, this piece represents hundreds of hours of dedicated work. This high knot count is the key to its exceptional durability and the sharp, refined definition of the floral motifs. It means the pile is packed tightly, providing a robust surface that holds its shape and beauty over time.

The substantial weight of 5.5 kg for this 198 x 79 cm runner further illustrates the quality of the materials and the density of the construction. This weight is a testament to the amount of fine Wool used, ensuring that the rug stays firmly in place and offers a premium, substantial feel whenever you walk upon it.
