Handwoven Carpet, All-over Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Tabriz, 206 × 290 cm Ref 10500082

This handwoven Tabriz rug with an all-over pictorial design is not merely a play of color and motif, but a reflection of culture, history, and the creative Iranian mind. Measuring 206 × 290 cm (6'9" × 9'6") with an area of 5.98 m² (64.37 ft²), this rectangular piece—created under the Taghipour brand—presents a pictorial scene in which every face, element, and shadow carries a message: a “tale from Saadi’s Bustan on recognizing friend and enemy.” With a density of approximately 5,100 knots/dm², it belongs to the class of detailed works where each knot is placed with precise order. High-quality wool on a cotton warp provides a balanced structure between softness and durability. The multicolored field, paired with a khaki-toned border, creates a fresh yet composed atmosphere that captivates the eye and engages the mind. This rug is more than decoration; it is a living document of Tabriz’s pictorial heritage—an assurance of culture and art in any home. Verses from Saadi are inscribed in the border with the following purport: O lord of Iran and Tur—may the evil eye be far from your days. I am the one who trains the king’s horses; in this meadow I serve.
