About Tabriz Carpet (Part 3)

These new carpets are symmetrically knotted and have simpler weft arrangement. The highly varied designs include medallion schemes in curvilinear draftsmanship as well as imitations of classic carpet patterns from other parts of Persia. The designs have been criticized as too regular and mechanical, and the coloring as too hard, the old vegetable dyes having been largely supplanted by European chrome and aniline. The wool is said to be harsher than that used in other Iranian centers, resulting in a stiffer, crisper pile. Instead of using the fingers to tie the knots, it is a local custom among the weavers to use a knife with a projection like a button hook. By this means they can develop higher speed than the weavers in other districs and have been timed at faster than one knot per second.

The End.
