Tabriz, located to the north-west of Iran, is Iran’s second oldest city and has been at the centre of the rug making world for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Due to the sheer size of the rug industry in Tabriz the design as well as quality varies greatly. This is partly caused by Tabriz’s exposure to high levels of world trade as well as being a central hub for carpet export in Iran.
