Tabriz Rugs and Kashan Rugs
There are a few online area rugs stores who sell Tabriz Persian Rugs. Tabriz Rugs range in price, varying from about $250 - thousands of dollars, depending on the size and type.
Tabriz rugs have many unique designs, but the typical pattern is filled with dense floral motifs, large palmettes or vases.
Among the most famous carpet designs, Kashan rugs (sometimes spelled Keshan) usually contain a diamond-shaped medallion on a Shah Abbas field - a series of curvilinear floral forms, creating a garden-like background. During the reigns of Shah Tahmasp and Shah Abbas in the 16th and 17th centuries, several royal factories were established for the manufacture of rugs in the Persian empire's major centers - Isfahan (Shah Abbas' capital), Kashan.
Tabriz is the dominant city of Northwest Iran/Persia and is the second largest city in Iran. Tabriz has been a center of the Persian carpet trade for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years. Tabriz rugs are symetrically knotted. Quality spans all grades from Bazaar quality all the way up to some of the best rugs woven in Iran.
Tabriz is the largest city in northwestern Iran. It is situated north of the volcanic cone of Sahand, south of the Eynali mountain. It is the capital of East Azarbaijan
Haji Jalili was for many years the best grade of Tabriz rugs. They were made in Marand on the main road northwest of Tabriz about half way to Jolfa on the Azerbaijan border. Keep in mind that Tabriz in this context does not refer to a specific city but rather to a region. This area is now called the Province of Azarbayian-e Sharqi.
When looking to buy a Persian Tabriz Rug online, check for a wide selection, to make sure you can get the exact colors and style that you need. Also, some online rug stores offer extras like free shipping and discounted prices. You should check these rug stores first for what you are looking for.
Some of the best Kashan rugs are from Ardistan and excellent ones are also produced in Yezd and Kashmar in Khorasan.
