Dark red / Dark grey202 x 209 cm

Tabriz rugs originate from one of the oldest rug-weaving centres in the Middle East, a city that has served as a vital hub of art and trade for centuries. The tradition of weaving in this region is deeply embedded in its cultural history, with artisans constantly refining their techniques to produce some of the most sophisticated floor coverings in the world.

The designation of '60 Raj' refers to the technical precision of the knotting process. This specific classification indicates a high density of knots, which allows weavers to execute complex, curvilinear designs with incredible clarity. It represents a commitment to technical excellence that ensures the rug is not just a decorative item but a durable, high-quality craft object.

Visually, these rugs are often defined by their formal compositions, frequently centering on a complex medallion surrounded by intricate floral motifs and ornate borders. While red and black are traditional colour choices that provide a sense of depth, the way these colours are balanced creates a harmonious, balanced aesthetic that fits seamlessly into both historical and modern interiors.

Collecting a piece from this tradition is an act of preserving cultural heritage. These rugs are highly valued for their exceptional skill, artistic vision, and longevity. By bringing such a rug into your home, you are continuing a story of artistry that has been passed down through generations of master weavers.

This rug is meticulously hand-knotted by skilled artisans who dedicate months of focused effort to each individual piece. With a density of 360,000 knots per m2, the level of precision required is significant, resulting in a remarkably sharp and clear pattern that would be impossible to replicate with machine-made alternatives.

The weight of 19 kg for this 209 x 202 cm rug is a testament to the sheer amount of material and labour invested in its construction. This density not only contributes to the rug’s durability but also ensures that it lies flat and maintains its structural integrity in high-traffic areas of your home.

By choosing this hand-knotted piece, you are supporting a craft tradition that values patience and human expertise above all else. Every knot is placed with intent, creating a robust and high-quality foundation that makes this rug a lasting investment for your living space.
