Pink Tabriz Rug 250cm x 350cm (8'2 x 11'48)

An Authentic Handmade Tabriz Rug

Tabriz has long been recognised as one of Iran’s most important centres of
carpet design and weaving. Rugs associated with this city are admired for their
disciplined drawing, precise symmetry, detailed curvilinear motifs and
remarkable variety of classical compositions.

This carpet reflects that artistic tradition through its carefully structured
medallion design and refined floral ornament. The visual elements are arranged
around a clear central axis, producing an orderly composition in which the
medallion, pendants, corner sections and borders work together rather than
competing for attention.

Because the rug is handmade, its design was developed gradually through the
weaving process rather than printed onto a finished surface. Subtle variations
in individual flowers, outlines, proportions or pattern alignment are therefore
natural. These details contribute to the rug’s individuality and distinguish it
from mechanically manufactured floor coverings.

Fine 50 Raj Weaving

This rug is classified as a 50 Raj Tabriz carpet. Raj is a
traditional term used in the Tabriz rug trade to describe the fineness of the
weave. It generally refers to the number of knots counted across a traditional
linear span of approximately seven centimetres.

A 50 Raj construction is commonly regarded as a fine level of Tabriz weaving.
It gives the weaver sufficient control to create small blossoms, smooth
arabesque curves, clear medallion outlines and detailed borders. The refinement
visible throughout this carpet is particularly noticeable in the layered centre,
delicate vines and closely spaced floral elements.

Raj should not be treated as the only measure of a rug’s overall quality.
Materials, knot consistency, pattern execution, foundation, colour harmony,
condition and the skill of the workshop are also important. Nevertheless, the
50 Raj classification provides useful evidence of the technical fineness
required to produce a design of this complexity.

Elegant Central Medallion

The visual focus of the carpet is its large, finely detailed central medallion.
The medallion is built from multiple layers of petals, blossoms, arabesque
forms and ornamental divisions. A small circular centre creates the starting
point, while increasingly larger floral sections radiate outward.

Ivory, pale grey, muted blue, soft beige and delicate pastel tones distinguish
the medallion from the surrounding pink field. The lighter colours make the
intricate drawing clearly visible, while restrained darker outlines define
individual flowers and decorative sections.

Smaller pendant motifs extend above and below the medallion along the vertical
axis of the rug. These pendants connect the central feature to the upper and
lower sections of the field, strengthening the symmetry and creating a natural
visual flow from one end of the carpet to the other.

Despite its complexity, the medallion remains proportionate to the overall
dimensions of the rug. It attracts attention without overwhelming the floral
field or borders, producing a composition that feels controlled, balanced and
architecturally organised.

Warm Rose-Pink Field

The main field displays a warm rose-pink tone with subtle salmon, coral and
dusty-pink qualities. Depending on room lighting and the direction from which
the pile is viewed, the colour may appear softer, deeper or slightly more muted.
This natural visual variation adds depth to the surface.

The pink background gives the rug a distinctive decorative identity. It is
expressive enough to become the focal point of a room, yet its softened tone is
easier to coordinate than a bright or highly saturated pink carpet.

Across the field, scrolling vines create a network of curved movement around
the central medallion. These vines carry flowers, palmettes, leaves and smaller
botanical details in a symmetrical arrangement. Larger blossoms establish the
principal rhythm, while finer motifs fill the surrounding spaces and preserve
the richness of the composition.

The design becomes more elaborate towards the ends and corners, where curved
floral forms frame the central field. These sections create a smooth transition
between the pink interior and the pale surrounding borders.

Classical Floral and Arabesque Design

The rug’s design is based on the classical Persian floral vocabulary commonly
associated with urban weaving traditions. Stylised blossoms, palmettes,
flowering branches and curved arabesques are repeated throughout the field and
borders.

These motifs are not arranged as isolated decorative objects. They are linked
through stems and scrolling vines, creating a continuous pattern that guides the
eye around the medallion. This interconnected drawing gives the rug movement
while maintaining strong symmetry.

The finer 50 Raj construction supports the closely spaced ornament and smooth
changes of direction visible in the vines. Curves appear more controlled, and
the smaller flowers retain clearer outlines than would normally be possible in
a much coarser weave.

Detailed Ivory Multi-Border Composition

The central field is surrounded by a substantial system of main and guard
borders. The widest border has a light ivory or cream ground decorated with
repeating floral motifs, palmettes, leaves and connecting vines.

Smaller guard borders appear on both sides of the principal band. These narrower
sections contain fine repeating flowers, ornamental lines and delicate
geometric details. Together, they give the carpet a layered frame and prevent
the transition from the pink field to the outer edge from appearing abrupt.

The pale border also performs an important visual function within an interior.
It balances the warmth of the pink centre and connects easily with light walls,
cream furniture, neutral curtains and pale flooring. This contrast keeps the rug
visually open despite the considerable amount of ornament.

A Soft and Versatile Colour Palette

Rose pink and ivory are the dominant colours, supported by subtle accents of
beige, pale blue, sage green, soft grey, muted brown and darker outlining.
Because these supporting colours are restrained, they add variety without
disturbing the rug’s calm and elegant character.

This palette works particularly well with:

• Cream, ivory, beige or warm-grey sofas
• Natural oak, walnut and other warm wood finishes
• Soft white or pale neutral walls
• Brass, bronze and brushed-gold accessories
• Dusty-pink, sage or muted-blue cushions
• Natural linen, velvet and textured upholstery
• Traditional, transitional and contemporary luxury interiors

In a neutral room, the carpet can introduce colour without becoming harsh. In a
more decorative setting, it can connect floral fabrics, antique furniture and
classical artwork. It is also an effective choice for contemporary interiors
that use simple furniture and rely on one significant handmade object for
warmth and character.

Generous Size for Living and Dining Spaces

Measuring 250 × 350 cm, the rug covers approximately
8.75 square metres. These dimensions make it suitable for a
substantial seating arrangement while preserving enough visible flooring around
the edges of a medium-to-large room.

Recommended placements include:

• A formal living room with a sofa and two armchairs
• A family room with the front furniture legs positioned on the rug
• A large bedroom beneath a queen-size or king-size bed
• A dining room with a suitably proportioned table
• A private office, library or consultation room
• A reception room or refined commercial interior
• An open-plan space requiring a clearly defined seating area

In a living room, the carpet may be centred beneath a coffee table with the front
legs of the main seating resting on its surface. This arrangement visually
connects the furniture and allows a substantial part of the medallion and field
to remain visible.

In a bedroom, it can be placed beneath the lower two-thirds of a large bed,
leaving a comfortable section visible on both sides and at the foot. When used
beneath a dining table, the room and furniture should be measured carefully so
that chairs remain on the rug when pulled away from the table.

Suitable for Classic and Contemporary Décor

In a traditional interior, this Tabriz rug can be paired with carved wood
furniture, formal curtains, antique accessories and classical artwork. Its
medallion and floral composition will reinforce the room’s refined character
without requiring additional heavily patterned elements.

In a contemporary interior, combine it with clean-lined cream furniture, pale
walls and a simple wood or stone coffee table. The contrast between the detailed
handmade rug and minimalist furnishings allows the carpet to become the main
artistic feature of the room.

For a transitional style, use modern seating with selected traditional
accessories, such as a brass lamp, ceramic vase or framed Persian artwork.
This approach preserves the rug’s heritage while creating an interior that
feels current and liveable.

One-of-a-Kind Handmade Character

Every handmade Persian rug possesses its own small variations in pattern,
colour, outline and dimensions. These differences reflect the gradual weaving
process and should not be considered production defects.

The exact rug shown in the product photographs is the piece available for
purchase. Another Tabriz carpet may feature a related pink palette, floral
medallion or 50 Raj construction, but it will not have exactly the same
arrangement, colouring and handmade details.

The visible fringe is part of the carpet’s structural foundation rather than a
decorative trim added after weaving. It should therefore be protected from
aggressive vacuuming, furniture movement and unnecessary pulling.

Care and Maintenance

Rotate the carpet periodically to distribute natural light and foot traffic more
evenly. This is especially important when one side of the rug is positioned
close to a window, doorway or frequently used seating area.

Vacuum gently using suction without an aggressive rotating brush. Avoid
repeatedly passing the vacuum directly over the fringe. A quality rug pad is
recommended to reduce movement, improve cushioning and limit friction between
the handmade carpet and the floor.

Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth. Do not rub
the affected area, as rubbing can spread the liquid and push it farther into the
pile. Avoid bleach, strong household chemicals, steam-cleaning machines and
unsuitable carpet shampoos.
