Old Tabriz Silk Rug in the National Museum of Tehran
The Old Tabriz Silk Rug, housed in the National Museum of Iran in Tehran, is a 16th-century masterpiece from Tabriz, renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic significance. Measuring 213 x 158 cm, it features intricate designs, including a vibrant red field adorned with serpentine Chinese "tchi" motifs and detailed cartouches with floral patterns and paired figures. Despite its worn condition, the rug’s central medallion and fine detailing highlight the skill of Tabriz's weavers. Made entirely of white silk with a Turkish knot technique and a density of 600,000 knots per square meter, this rug reflects the pinnacle of Persian silk weaving during the Safavid era. Preserved as a cultural treasure, it continues to captivate visitors and celebrate the enduring legacy of Persian artistry.
The Art of Dyes in Persian Carpets
The vibrant hues of Persian carpets showcase the skill and artistry of Iranian artisans. Known for their mastery in blending and harmonizing colors, they create rich, warm, and sophisticated shades that endure through time. For centuries, the dyes used were sourced exclusively from nature, including plants and animals. In some traditional villages, this age-old practice continues, preserving the legacy of natural dyeing.
