Notes: This Tabriz rug displays an ancient Persian poem and it has the poem
written on the top of the rug. The border displays old artifacts found in the
Persian history. The quality of this Tabriz Persian rug is excellent and it has no flaws.
This is a 50 raj Persian rug so it is perfect for laying on the floor as well as hanging
on a wall. I showed this and some of my other high end rugs to a client once and
he was just amazed by the pile. He commented that the rug felt more like
tapestry when you compare it to all of the other rugs. All of the dyes are from
vegetables and the wool is extremely soft. Even for high end rugs, this one is
very soft and you can tell that it is very fine and old as soon as you see it.
Typically, old Persian rugs don't maintain their colors like in this one and it is a
great example of what an old showpiece should look and feel like. Definetely an
investment rug.
