Characteristics of the Region (Tabriz)

Tabriz is a city in northwestern Iran and a very famous and popular rug-producing region. It boasts a rich variety of designs and colors, and was once the capital of Iran during the Safavid dynasty. The oldest Tabriz rugs date back to 1500, and exports overseas began around 1900. Tabriz is home to many highly skilled rug weavers, and silk and cotton are often used as base materials for the rugs. Wool and silk are mainly used for the pile, and the weaving is characteristically very fine. Designs are diverse, including beautiful medallion patterns, traditional Persian Mahi designs, Gonbadi patterns inspired by mosque ceilings, popular floral patterns, and even pictorial designs. The color palette is also rich, with pastel shades often seen in rugs made with wool and silk. As such, Tabriz rugs, with their abundant designs and color variations, are highly recommended.
