Handmade Tabriz Rug 87 x 65 cm - Iran
Hand-knotted Tabriz rug in wool and silk, 87 × 65 cm: an oval beige medallion with palmettes and blue, pink and red flowers stands out against a dark brown field scattered with red tulips and small pink flowers with foliage; brown border with light blue scrollwork.
In the entrance hall, it warms the arrival: the beige medallion lights up the brown of the field from the doorway and marks out the strip of floor you tread on as you come in. A bedside rug or a spot in front of a fireplace suit it too. A sturdy wool, at ease in a room where people move about, under a chair as well as in front of an armchair.

Caring for your rug
This rug contains silk. The advice below applies, but always gently: dab, never rub, and use very little water.
1Turn it every six months
- Even wear: walkways do not wear out too soon.
- Colour protection: limits UV fading and the oxidation of natural dyes.
- Longevity: a handmade rug that is turned regularly lasts 50 to 100 years without losing its beauty.
2Removing a stain with Marseille soap
No chemicals, in three steps.
- Absorb the excess. For a liquid, gently scrape with a spoon, without rubbing or spreading the stain.
- Apply the soap. Dip a bar of Marseille soap in lukewarm water, dab the stain and leave it for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry. Wipe with a cloth dampened with clean water, then raise the rug on a chair so it dries in the open air. A fan speeds things up; never direct sunlight.
Never use: abrasive sponges or hard brushes, bleach or ammonia. They destroy the fibres and the dyes.
3Drying, the key against mould and moths
A rug that is not dried properly develops a musty smell, white mineral stains and distortions, and attracts dust mites and moths.
- Dry it flat or raised, never folded.
- Air both sides of the rug.
- Leave no moisture behind; use a dryer or a fan if needed.

A handmade rug never dies
No need to worry with a handmade piece: everything can be repaired. A knot can be retied, a fringe rewoven, a border restored. A rug can even be brought back to life ten, thirty or fifty years after it was bought.
With simple care, this one will last for years and be passed on.
For anything beyond everyday care (deep cleaning, repair, restoration), we will be there, even years after your purchase. +33 9 83 89 37 22 or write to us.
Prevents the rug from slipping, protects hardwood floors, and can be cut to size.
The Tabriz rug
Le Tabriz vient de la ville du même nom, en Iran, qui fut capitale de l'empire perse et dont l'école de miniatures a inspiré le décor de ses tapis. Noué à la main en laine, en soie ou dans un mélange des deux, il se reconnaît à son décor floral classique, souvent organisé autour d'un médaillon central, et à la finesse de son dessin.
