Description
Tabriz rugs are among the most beautiful and legendary carpets ever made. Many rugs produced in Tabriz are attempting to follow the incredible artistry of the Persian Safavid rugs. The Tabriz design of this rug was copied and re-created in the province of Bamyan, by Afghan village weavers. These rugs are virtually identical in design, workmanship and authenticity as the originals. Those vegetable dyes most commonly used are madder, the root of a spindly bush which grows abundantly in many carpet-producing area which is used to create a red color. Walnut peel is used for dark brown, pomegranate peel for light brown, and sparak which is a wild flower from the steppes, used for yellow.
