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.
