If you find a Persian city carpet made with
Turkish knots in a tight two level foundation
then it is likely that it is a Tabriz carpet.
Most Persian City carpets are made with a Persian
knot. Tabriz has long been a very cosmopolitan
center of Persian carpet weaving. So there is not
a single or distinctive Tabriz style. The two
major influences of the commercial era have been
the native Persian traders and the Germans. PETAG
or Persien Teppich AG was an innovative and
aggressive marketer and producer of carpets in a
number of cities but particularly in Tabriz. |

the Persian Azerbaijan, Iran. Size: All sizes

per square inch.

Further Notes: The best rugs of Tabriz stack
up well against the best rugs of any rug made in
Iran. The worst rugs of Tabriz are as bad as any.
The part to watch is the back. On the low end
Tabriz rugs the weavers can make a substantial
rug with comparatively little wool. I remember
Uncle Jimmy Keshishian describing one rug as
"all back". On less expensive Tabriz
Carpets it is important to make sure that there
is substantial pile and that the foundation does
not make up the whole rug.
