The History of Tabriz:
Tabriz is one of the world's oldest and best known rug-weaving centers. It has a long and storied history dating back more than 1000 years. The Safavid Dynasty, 1499-1722, was the golden era of Tabriz rug-weaving. The Safavids established the first royal rug-workshop in the city and encouraged it to become the center of the Persian rug trade. Many contemporary Tabriz rugs are woven in the style set by the Safavid rulers centuries ago. The master-weavers of Tabriz are known to take great pride in their work and it's common for them to sign their best rugs. While signatures can be found on rugs from other cities, the Tabriz are reputed to be of the finest quality. Most Tabriz rugs are woven with a combination of wool and silk. The finest are made on a foundation of silk and incorporate 18 or 24 karat gold thread into their designs. It's common for them to have a very high KPSI, often 300 to 800 knots per square inch.
Description of Heriz Style:
Heriz Persian rugs are hand-woven in the town of Heriz, south of Tabriz. Heriz rugs are large, thick, heavy tribal rugs well-known for their earth tones and geometric patterns. They feature big, square medallions in black or navy blue set in a lighter field. Their main colours are shades of rust-red, with beige, navy, brown or black details.
