Tabriz
Master Rug Weaver Abbas Alabaf Passed Away
Abbas Ali Alabaf, a master weaver in Tabriz passed away
at the age of 89. Alabaf, means "fine weaver"
in Persian. He was born in Tabriz in 1918. His father,
Hassan Alabaf had a carpet weaving factory in Tabriz, and
Abbas, went there from early ages and started dyeing,
weaving and designing rugs. When he was 11, his designs
were already well liked by his father's customers in many
different countries around the world. His father gave him
the power of attorney in 1938, when he was only 20, to do
all the sales, at national and international level. His
father died in 1949, and Abbas was in charge of the
family (his mother and his six brothers) and made them
his partners. His brothers opened up their own business
later. Abbas became a reputable Tabriz rug producer using
his extra ordinary talent and passion for Tabriz carpets.
Although Abbas was old, but he did not like to sit idle
and he worked hard to maintain the good name and
reputation he had acquired through decades of passionate
work.
