TABRIZ
is the capital of Eastern-Azerbaijan province and one of the
most important rug weaving centers of Iran. Tabriz rugs have the
most diverse designs in Iran. Typical is the medallion and
corners with endless repeats of curvilinear rosettes and
palmettos. Paneled garden, pictorial, scenery, animal, all-over
and geometric designs are also woven. Dark reds and powerful
blues predominate with ivory used as a contrast. Both the
Turkish symmetrical and Persian asymmetrical knot is used.
