Characteristics of the Origin (Tabriz)

Tabriz is a city in northwestern Iran and a very famous and popular center for rug production. It boasts a rich variety of designs and colors, and was even 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 talented rug weavers, and silk and cotton are often used as base materials for the rugs. The pile primarily uses wool and silk, and its weave is notably 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 colors often seen in rugs using wool and silk. As such, Tabriz rugs are highly recommended for their abundant design and color variations.

Daily Care (Wool & Silk)

Remove dirt and dust by vacuuming or sweeping along the pile. If stains are a concern: dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar. Afterwards, carefully wipe with water to remove detergent, then dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
