Persian Tabriz Runner

£1,250£1,650In stock, ready to ship

A truly exceptional Persian Tabriz Runner — a masterpiece of fine weaving from the historic city of Tabriz in northern Iran, long celebrated as the heart of Persian rug craftsmanship. Hand-knotted over eight to ten months from premium super-fine wool on a sturdy cotton base, it possesses a luxuriously smooth, dense, velvety feel underfoot — exquisite to touch and built to endure for generations. Glowing in a deep, enduring crimson red, the field unfurls with five magnificent medallions spaced gracefully along its length — each rendered in layers of ivory, sky blue, navy and gold with breathtaking precision. Between them, an endless garden of delicate flowers, scrolling vines and palmettes weaves seamlessly from end to end — every petal, stem and leaf sharply defined and perfectly symmetrical. Broad, richly detailed borders frame the composition in bands of navy, cream and gold — a hallmark of authentic Tabriz refinement, balancing grandeur with delicate grace. Measuring an impressive 294 cm by 95 cm, this is a truly generous runner — perfectly proportioned for grand hallways, open-plan living spaces, dining rooms or extended corridors. It brings instant elegance, warmth and timeless Persian beauty to longer spaces, transforming them into striking focal points. A genuine fine Tabriz — rare in this exceptional condition and size, and ready to become a cherished heirloom in your home.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 170 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 735,957 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 8 months.

How that is worked out: 116 in × 37 in × 170 knots per sq. in. ≈ 735,957 — that is 294 × 95 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
