Tabriz, located in the northwest of Iran, has a rich weaving tradition dating back to the 15th century. Tabriz weavers have historically copied designs from other regions of Iran, making their carpets diverse in pattern. Designs range from medallions, hunting scenes, prayers, to pictorial representations. The primary material used in Tabriz carpets is wool, woven onto a cotton foundation. Additionally, there is a specific type of Tabriz carpet known as the Royal Tabriz, which is made with wool on a silk foundation. Because of the silk foundation, Royal Tabriz carpets are considered some of the finest handcrafted Eastern carpets in the world.
