Persian Tabriz (304978)

Tabriz is the capital of the province of Eastern Azerbaijan. Like Mashhad on the eastern side of Persia, its present apparent remoteness belies the fact that when the country was larger it had an important role. There are now a huge variety of carpets made in Tabriz, from extremely fine to very coarse pieces. The weavers have great skill, and are aided by a hook-like implement, which they use instead of the fingers for tying knots. The warps and wefts are cotton, the pile wool, often with highlights of silk that can be found in the finest pieces. The colours of the finer carpets are delicate and refined. What makes them so special is not just the beauty of the motifs themselves but the consistency throughout their rugs. Tabriz feels almost regal to the touch.
