When we look at Persian carpets the Tabriz comes to mind. Tabriz is one of the major cities of Iran in the East Azarbaijan Province. Its history as one of the oldest rug weaving centres makes for a huge diversity of types of carpets. The art of Tabriz Rug or Carpet was in its zenith in the 12th -16th century. About 200 Tabriz school masterpieces of the classical or "golden" period of the 14th century are characterized by a harmonic merge of the arts of miniature paintings and weaving, as well as by a high level of craftsmanship demonstrated by artists and carpet weavers.

For your info, a higher number of knots per length of 7 cm of the widths makes for a higher quality and finer rug. 110 would make for an incredibly fine rug. String materials are usually made of cotton or silk which is used for very fine rugs. Tabriz has one of the most diverse displays of designs from medallion, Herati / Mahi, to figural, pictorial, and even 3-d shaped rugs. Tabriz, being a *worldwide famous carpet* making centre, played a significant role in the development of the rich traditions of the decorative and applied arts. The different kinds of carpets include pile and flat-weave, with simple and complex composition.

The Tabriz carpets are some of the most sought after pieces of woven art on the antique market and www.ecarpetgallery.com offers you rugs of the same quality with the same historical relevance and cultural beauty as we buy them directly from the source. Tabriz rugs are woven with fine wool on cotton foundation, or wool and silk on cotton foundation using the Turkish or Persian knot. Finer Tabriz carpets are woven of pure silk.

The traditional Tabriz carpets feature ornamental patterns, with cream, red or navy blue being the dominant background colors. The most typical Tabriz rugs and Tabriz carpets are grouped under the common name "Lachak turanj". In the middle of the centre field and in the corners of the carpet there are "turanj". The turanj in the centre of the carpet is a symbol of the Moon, and the pattern formed by lozenges with the toothed leaves on the edges symbolizes the scales of the fish, which rise to the surface of the water at midnight to admire the Moon reflection. The origin of this composition dates back to the 9th-10th centuries. Often the topics for the Tabriz carpets are drawn from the works of the great Oriental poets. The carpets often depict the scenes of falconry or images of a ferocious lion. Well known are also Tabriz carpet-pictures with images of fragments of palaces and mosques, scenes of battles. In many cases carpet weavers were inspired by the hand-painted covers of ancient books.
