This runner is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Tabriz rugs are among the most beautiful and legendary carpets ever built. Many rugs produced in the city of Tabriz are attempting to follow the incredible artistry of the Persian Safavid rugs. Tabriz managed to keep these ancient traditions alive in the city and the villages surrounding it in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran. The Tabriz design of this rug was copied and re-created in the Jodhpur region of India, by Jaipur village weavers following traditional methods of weaving. The process of making a rug includes cleaning, washing, and dyeing the wool which is sourced from local sheep. These rugs are virtually identical in design, workmanship, and authenticity to the originals. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Keep your rug looking new for years to come. Slight differences should be expected. Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
