Tabriz
Tabriz is the seat of Persian Azerbaijan Province, a large industrial and commercial city with a long history as a past national capital and as an artistic center. The weaving industry was revived there in the 19th century and is carried out in factories where rugs are closely supervised. Quality control is a feature of Tabriz pieces and various grades up to very fine, extremely large carpets may be had. When the colors have mellowed and condition is good, they are extremely valuable and popular with decorators every where. Medallion and overall patterns are woven equally successfully. Silk carpets were popular from this area before 1930 and a few are still made. Sizes range from 2’ x 3’ to ones 20’ x 30’. Prices are moderate for the lower grades and upwards.
