History of Tabriz Rugs
Tabriz, located in the center of East Azerbaijan province in northwestern Iran, has long been known as an important center for Persian rug production. Tracing the history of Persian rugs, during the Safavid dynasty, Tabriz became a crucial hub for art and culture, and the influence of court art and manuscript illumination began to appear in rug designs. While there is academic debate about whether a royal workshop existed in Tabriz, many studies indicate that 16th-century Tabriz was deeply connected to a sophisticated rug culture.
Tabriz continued to be an important city for rug production and distribution thereafter. From the 19th century onwards, Persian rugs spread globally through international trade. Particularly from the late 19th to the 20th century, Tabriz became one of the main centers supporting the commerce and production of Persian rugs.
Furthermore, wool and silk have long been important materials in Persian rugs. Silk is suitable for fine patterns and lustrous expressions and has been treated as a crucial material, especially in delicate rugs.
