Tabriz rugs and carpets - unique items from the Djoharian Collection
What is a Tabriz carpet?
Rugs with the name Tabriz usually come from the town of the same name in the province of Azerbaijan in northwest Iran.
What are the qualities of Tabriz carpets?
Rugs from Tabriz are available in many variations, both in terms of pattern and quality. The knot density of the hand-knotted carpets starts at around 100 knots per square inch for simple pieces and reaches up to 1250 knots per square inch for rarely fine work. The motifs are usually floral or patterned with a medallion.
How much do Tabriz carpets cost?
A simple carpet with a low knot density costs less than 1000 USD in the size 6 x 9 ft cm, a rarely fine piece can well cost over 20,000 USD in the same size. The knotting density, the amount of work and the material used are decisive.
Rugs from Tabriz are among the most popular Persian carpets. The reasons for this are simple: high-quality craftsmanship, fine knotting, fine materials and elaborate designs give Tabriz carpets the exclusive touch.
The art of knotting rugs has been documented in Tabriz for over 500 years - often through impressively large and fine made work for kings and princes.
In the 20th century Tabriz has become the most important production location for exquisite curk wool and silk carpets. Simple qualities start with a knot density of approx. 100 knots per inch², particularly fine pieces achieve finenesses of over 1250 per inch². Typical is a floral design (Nachsche) or a allover repeat motiv (Mahi = fish)
