Tabriz – Northwest Persia This is a Tabriz rug inspired by the master of arts Hadji Jallili. Its design emphasizes subtle gradations of colour hue and precise, detailed work. Rather than the predominant medallion most commonly seen in Persian rugs, this magnificent rug displays a concentric series of extremely subtle hexagonal medallions with gently rounded borders. A finely woven geometric pattern called Herati (diamond and leaf pattern) forms the medallions, spreads across the field and continues to the corners of the carpet, adding to the atmosphere of quiet and understated splendour. An elegant rug that chooses those who want to reveal its subtle beauty. The carpet is clean and ready for use. Tabriz, a city located in northwestern Persia, is considered the city of masters of textile art. The ateliers in this influential city established a strong reputation for the quality of their carpets, which is still respected. The city of Tabriz’s fame as a carpet production centre began during the Safavid dynasty (1501 to 1722 AD). However, historical accounts indicate that carpets had been produced there since the Sasanian era (224 to 651 AD). Carpets from the Safavid period represent the pinnacle of Persian textile art, and Tabriz carpets continue this tradition. Shah Abbas (1587–1629), the great patron of the arts, established weaving centres throughout Persia, including a royal workshop in Tabriz. Some of the best Tabriz rugs, woven exclusively for carpet aficionados of the nobility, use techniques that have not yet been surpassed. After the dynasty's fall, carpet-making declined in quality and intensity throughout Persia. However, a renewed interest in 19th-century carpets revived this art, and Tabriz became an important production centre. Antique Tabriz carpets, produced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are distinguished by their excellent weaving technique and remarkable adherence to classical traditions and ancient Persian carpet designs. However, unlike other Persian rugs, they cannot be distinguished by any particular design pattern or use of colours. Antique Tabriz rugs come in various classic designs and are produced in every colour imaginable, from bold, bright tones to softer pastel tones. What sets them apart from other Persian rugs is their quality. Tabriz rugs are precisely designed and carefully executed, making them extremely popular with designers. A Tabriz rug adds elegance to any room in a home or office. Tabriz are known for their unsurpassed quality, strong weave and rich detail. For centuries, Tabriz carpets have been made with the highest quality since Tabriz was established as one of the first capitals of the carpet world. The artists of Tabriz boast of being the oldest in terms of production in all of Persia. Tabriz Persian carpets and their beauty not only depend on their rich cultural background but their limitless design is not surpassed by any other region. With an unsurpassed variety of colours, the Tabriz rug can be found in any tone, including bolder or softer pastel tones. Nothing beats antique...
