Tabriz is Iran’s second oldest city, and perhaps the best known Persian rug weaving centre in the world.  There are limitless designs owing to the sheer size of Tabriz’ Persian rug weaving industry.  One thing common to all Tabriz Persian rugs is the quality of their knotting and the high quality of the wool.

Description

The garden motifs in Bakhtiari rugs symbolize the beautiful gardens and courtyards that were popular in Iran throughout the 17th and 18th century.  In addition to the Garden designs, floral and geometric themes are also common with rugs knotted by Bakhtiari tribespeople.  These well knotted and dense rugs use hand spun vegetable dyed wool with dyes coming from plants mainly in the local area.  This gives the rugs a very distinct look and coloration.
