Knot density of oriental carpets
The quality of a carpet is reflected in its fineness, which is defined by the knot density - the number of knots per square metre. This measure is not only an indicator of the precision of the craftsmanship, but also has a significant influence on the overall quality of the carpet. A higher knot density not only allows the creation of complex patterns, but also demonstrates the masterful skill of the craftsmen. The skilful knotting of fine knots creates a rug that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also impresses with its robustness and cultural significance. The knot density of our carpets can be found on the product page under the properties.

The production of a tabriz rug
The production of Tabriz oriental rugs is an artisanal process that begins with the careful design of patterns and colours. High quality materials such as wool, cotton and silk are selected for added lustre. Tabriz carpets are categorised by class (Raj), with a higher Raj indicating a higher knot density. The design is transferred to the carpet grid and each knot is marked accordingly. Hand-knotting techniques are used to create the desired patterns, while the use of natural dyes creates a rich colour palette. After a thorough inspection by experienced craftsmen who preserve the traditions, Tabriz oriental rugs are created as works of art with attention to detail.
