Origin

Die berühmte Teppichprovenienz und auch Heimatstadt der persischen Provinz West-Azerbaidjan im Norden Persiens, liegt östlich des großen Urumia-Sees in 1400m Höhe und zählt als viertgrößte persische Stadt 1,5 Mio. Einwohner.

Die berühmte Blaue Moschee befindet sich neben vielen anderen Prachtbauten in dieser großen Stadt, in der auch die familieneigene Teppichknüpferei der Darafarins beheimatet ist.

Als Teppichstadt hat Tabriz einen großen Namen. Die bevorzugten Materialien zur Herstellung eines Tabriz-Teppiches sind Wolle, Wolle mit Seide sowie auch reine Seide. Die Ornamente variieren von Schah-Abbasi-Motiven, durchlaufenden Rapport-Motiven ( u.a. Fisch- oder Botteh-Motive), alten Nomadenmustern bis hin zu Jagd- und Baummotiven.

 
Taabriz is an ancient city in north-western Persia, and the most prolific of all carpet centres. The quality in their carpets is generally exceptional, with most on a base of fine cotton, but sometimes on pure silk. There are many unique designs but typically the pattern in a Taabriz rug is filled with dense floral motifs, large palmettes, vases, or vivid hunting scenes or pictorials in the field. These can be with or without a medallion, and geometric designs are also seen. Taabriz has sub-styles as well. These include the restrained and elegant 'Mahi' in co-ordinated borders of subdued tones that fit in anywhere; the Naqsheh, with its plethora of pinks on beige, or very occasionally, black; and the wild but beautiful Tabatabaie, always in touches of orange, lemon green and beige. The finer Naqsheh and Mahi are mostly in highly-priced Kurk wool, and silk is often used to outline lavishly the highlights of the rug.

Taabriz is probably the most prolific carpet-producing center in the world, and certainly one of the oldest. This enchanted city was established more than a thousand years ago. After many invasions, occupations and wars, Taabriz took the ancient techniques of the past and created a huge rug-exporting industry. The finest era of Persian rug weaving was the Safavid Dynasty (1499 - 1722), when the Safavids overthrew the Turks who had occupied Taabriz. They gave the city one of the first Royal workshops, making it the artistic center of Persian culture. In spite of all the later conquests and political restructurings, Taabriz managed to keep these ancient traditions alive. Today, many rugs produced in Taabriz emulate the artististic heritage of the Persian Safavid carpet, and when a designer in any part of the world wants to commission a certain pattern to be hand-woven, Taabriz is the city that he visits. Attesting to their pride in producing fine carpets, the master-weavers of Taabriz often weave their signature into a part of the carpet's border. These signatures can, of course, be found on extremely fine rugs made in other cities, but a signature on the 'ceremonial' border of a Taabriz Naqsheh is the ultimate in formality and sophistication. The material used for the pile of these rugs are wool, silk, or a combination of the two. A beautiful blend of fine Kurk wool and silk is the most common in a fine Taabriz, with wool only used in those of average quality. In the very finest carpets, the foundation of the rug is pure silk instead of cotton, and some even have 18 or 24 karat gold threads woven into the foundation, with 300 to 800 KPSI not being uncommon.
