STORY
West Persia, Tabriz, PETAG workshop, circa 1920s

This antique PETAG Tabriz is a true collector's piece. Petag was a large workshop set up by the Germans in the city of Tabriz in order to combat the declining quality of mass-produced carpets at the dawn of the XX century. Petag rugs can be identified by their distinctive 'signature' - three shintamani roundels arranged in a triangle and discretely located in the far corner of the field or border pattern. The rug also features highly-desired all-over Herati pattern in hues of warm beige, charcoal black and muted burnt ochre. Nothing short of a statement, legacy and beauty.

This rug was carefully curated with a focus on colors, motifs and weave quality that reflect the generations of artistry and history of where it comes from. It is an original rug produced by the people living in the region at that time. As such, it also reflects the wear and care by the generations of families that owned it and passed it down to each other as an heirloom. Signs of natural wear, repairs and asymmetry are only evidence that this rug has been around the block and proudly shows it. The rug’s unique imperfections along with a perfect amount of patina simply prove that this Tabriz was built to last.

Photos were taken in natural daylight from different angles. Please be mindful that you may notice some slight color and tone variation depending on the amount of light in your space.
