The city of Tabriz is situated 600 km west of Tehran and is one of the largest cities in Iran, and also the capital of the province of Azerbaijan. The population comprises the Azaris, who are the largest ethnic minority in Iran and speak the Turkish dialect. The city is old and has, for centuries, been a very important trading place and border station. Known attractions are the Blue Mosque and the giant bazaar.
The manufacturing of carpets today is extensive, and the quality varies from excellent handicrafts to simple and cheap bazaar qualities. A good Tabriz has a short and rough pile. The patterns can consist of a centrally placed medallion surrounded by arabesques, weeping willows, and cypresses. Another popular motif is the four seasons, which describe the life of the Persian farmer during spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Ancient palaces and ruins are often seen on the carpets. On the corners, it is sometimes possible to see the four great Persian poets: Sadi, Hafez, Ferdowsi, and Omar Khayyam.
The term Raj, in connection with the name of Tabriz carpets, refers to the number of knots in a 70 mm span range.
