Master weavers in Tabriz are among the most skilled in Persia and, as a nod to their outstanding craftsmanship, they often incorporate their signature somewhere in the border of their carpets. Hand-knotted Tabriz rugs are renowned not only for their exceptional quality and longevity but also for their limitless designs – the most diverse of any rug. Often woven in the Shah Abbasi or the Islimi style (or a combination of the two), patterns range from medallion to figural to Herati\/Mahi to three-dimensional. Almost anything goes: a central medallion with quarter medallions in the corners; simple geometric patterns; animals; floral garden motifs with palmettos, flowering branches, shrubs and leaves; and hunting scenes. The colours of the Tabriz vary as widely as the patterns, including a refined palette of ivory, copper tones, terracotta and burgundy, with shades of baby and navy blue and gentle touches of tan, gold, salmon and green. The Tabriz's unique double weft is generally cotton or wool, although some weavers use a silk or silk and wool weft with a Kurd wool\/silk blend for the short pile. Silk is used for the foundation and the pile in the most lavish, high-end antique Tabriz rugs, with gold threads woven into the base. Sub-styles of the Tabriz include the distinguished Tabriz Fish, in which tiny geometric fish designs make up the border.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lashar Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Persian Tabriz","offer_id":37936851189927,"sku":"P-2054","price":395.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/2407\/9271\/products\/P-2054.jpg?v=1777493077"},{"product_id":"p-25006","title":"Persian Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe lovely and highly geometrically patterned textiles made by the Shahsavan tribe – a large group living a nomadic lifestyle in Northeastern Persia – are referred to as Shahsavan (Saveh) rugs. It was the Persian kings of the 17th century that resettled the Shahsavan tribes from their home in Central Asia, which accounts for the similarity in style between Shahsavan rugs and those developed by the Turkomans and tribes from Central Asia. A rectilinear medallion is arranged horizontally or vertically in the middle of the field, with smaller motifs – often improvised by the weaver – in the background. Larger rugs feature Turkish Memling guls, the Boteh pattern, latch or stepped hook medallions or small animal figures. (Runners, on the other hand, often present all-over pattern without a central medallion.) Although earth tones, including rust and beige, are common, colour can be a distinguishing characteristic of the Shahsavan, with lavender, deep pink or salmon tones used alongside soft blues.

The colours of the Tabriz vary as widely as the patterns, including a refined palette of ivory, copper tones, terracotta and burgundy, with shades of baby and navy blue and gentle touches of tan, gold, salmon and green. The Tabriz's unique double weft is generally cotton or wool, although some weavers use a silk or silk and wool weft with a Kurd wool\/silk blend for the short pile. Silk is used for the foundation and the pile in the most lavish, high-end antique Tabriz rugs, with gold threads woven into the base.
