Persian
Carpet Guide Tabriz Rugs
| |
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.

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.
