buying take a look at Top 10
Best Selling Persian Rugs. The consistent market
leader for Internet sales are Tabriz Rugs. Tabriz has
been a major production center for as far back as we have
records. Certainly many of the worlds great carpets have
been woven there. Today top carpet producers include Hamad-Mahdie Alabaf and
Galibafi Nassadji Tabriz.

Historically Iran or Persia is divided into
four major regions. For most of the last 2500
years the dominant region has been either Tabriz
or Khorasan. Tabriz is both a major city and the
major city of Persian Azerbaijan. When I say
Azerbaijan I must note that Azerbaijan extended
up into the southern part of Georgia, Dagestan,
Azerbaijan. While Tabriz is the center of a much
reduced area it is still the second city of
modern 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.
