Creating vibrant interiors: transform your space with the charm of ancient Tabriz rugs
Figalli Orietal Rugs is passionate about antique carpets of different traditions and styles. Among the champions of rugs that possess a beauty that transcends location and a power that surpasses time, the ancient Persian Tabriz rugs are in first place.
Located in the current province of Eastern Azerbaijan, Iran, Tabriz is one of the world’s oldest epicentres of rug weaving. The styles and designs that originated in Tabriz were diverse and influential. The wide variety of patterns and motifs from Tabriz is extraordinarily vast, having a diversity that compares to no other type of Persian rug. The scenarios present everything from hunting and flowering gardens to intricate linear patterns. The wide range of patterns, designs, and geometric figures of Tabriz rugs is astonishing.
Being one of the oldest rug-producing cities in the world, Tabriz witnessed several periods of artistic flourishing over the centuries. Emperor Shah Abbas sponsored many artists from the late 1500s to the early 1600s, creating the First Golden Age of Persian Rugs. Weaving was a family craft, and the techniques of this art were transmitted only among family members. Centuries later, the 1880s marked another period of artistic flourishing in the city, driven by trade with the West and the subsequent demand for Tabriz rugs in Europe.
The ancient history of Tabriz weaving, coupled with the increase in global trade and interest in this form of art in the West, resulted in the enormous influence of Tabriz artists on the development of textile arts worldwide.
Even for those who know nothing about history, this ancient tradition is so firmly rooted in our collective memory that a Tabriz rug rarely fails to attract and captivate the observer’s eye. It is the transcendent power of Tabriz rugs. Where a contemporary carpet does not match a historic home, or a rug with a classic medallion may seem strange in a minimalist environment, the ancient Tabriz rugs will be perfect!
Tabriz rugs are not limited to the old or the new, the chic or the elegant, the minimalist or the eclectic. It is because when we see Tabriz’s art, we see its beauty and depth. A tradition that has survived centuries is too strong to be challenged by passing fashions or seasonal trends.
