Story Behind the Art : Pak Tabriz rugs (made in Pakistan) are a specific rug style that favors the weaving and design techniques of the authentic Tabriz rugs from Iran. The rugs retain the essence of the Persian rugs and produce identical themes and patterns consisting of beautifully designed medallions, niches, trees and figural motifs and all-over floral motifs. Hand-knotted rugs are Pakistan's second-largest cottage and small industry that began as early as the 11th century under the Mughal rule. The craftsmen have the capacity to produce any type of rug using all the popular motifs of guls, medallions, paisleys (botehs), traceries, and geometric designs in various combinations. Made using Turkish knot instead of the Persian knot, Tabriz rugs, exhibiting great consistency and perfect symmetrical pattern, are thinner and lighter than other Persian rugs. Color palette varies from very bold and contrasting shades to subtle and even pastel coloring. The designs embrace a diverse range of Persian rug motifs from classic medallion to all-over patterns with palmettes integrated into the borders.
