During the Safavid dynasty, Tabriz weavers were commissioned to produce rugs for royal palaces and important holy sites. The reputation built then has never left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThese are city rugs, made by professional weavers who spent years mastering their craft. The designs were family knowledge, passed down through generations and woven entirely from memory. Each weaving family treated their patterns as heirlooms, and the motifs carried meaning, weeping willows for love, oak trees for strength and courage, pomegranates for abundance and luck. What looks like decoration is actually a language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis rug is hand-knotted from wool on a cotton foundation. The construction is dense and tightly woven, producing a surface that holds its detail and wears exceptionally well over time. As a vintage piece, the colours have already softened and the pile has settled. What you are looking at has been improving since it was made.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Najaf Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43272710258944,"sku":"4172","price":3550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.najaf.com.au\/products\/vintage-persian-tabriz-rug-371-x-293-cm","provider":"Najaf Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
