An ivory border with a garland of flowers surrounds the composition Good condition "Because of its proximity to Turkish ports, Tebriz developed trade with Europe and became a major centre for carpet production. From the end of the 18th century, large carpet factories were established there. The Tebriz carpets are characterized by a great quality and fineness of knotting and present very varied decorations: the classic decoration of the central medallion with four spandrels, the vase decoration, the herati decoration in full field, figurative or landscape decorations, the prayer rugs or the garden rugs. "In fact, there is a great variety of Persian carpets: - The carpets of factories in which the models or cartoons are rewoven several times identically; a workshop master or "ustad" directs the work by chanting: "a red knot, a green knot, two blue knots, etc" It is no longer the creative work of a single craftsman that gives rise to the spirit of the carpet, but the technical prowess of the craftsman, the harmony of the cardboard and the colours, the quality of the wools that determine the beauty and the success of the carpet. Let us mention the masterpieces of the great masters of the Tabriz region (Djaffer, Hajji Jalil), or of Keschan (Mortashem), Kirman and Isfahan. - Carpets from village workshops (Senneh, Hamadan, Chiraz, Ferrahan) - Or weavings of nomadic tribes, such as the Khasgai of the Shiraz region: the weaver creates his own model. () All materials are used throughout Persia: the warps can be made of sheep's wool, goat's hair, or even camel's hair, cotton, silk. Velvet can be knotted in wool or silk, cotton can also be used to enhance certain patterns.
