"As a former capital of Persia, the tradition of the Tabriz carpet is one of the oldest and most revered. Tabriz is a city with a rich culture and a strong history for producing master weavers. Known for their complex Mahi patterns, grand medallions and sophisticated colors, the Tabriz rug has been a constant market leader since the 1200s. A classic Tabriz carpet is often inspired by the music, religion, architecture, literary works and culture of Ancient Persia. Although a traditional Tabriz rug can feature many themes, they always represent the ultimate in craftsmanship and design. Some of the most popular styles in Tabriz Oriental Rugs are Tabriz Gonbad, Tabriz Mahi, and 50Raj Tabriz. ORD#11416"
