Tabriz hand-knotted rugs originate from the central city of East Azerbaijan Province, an area spanning approximately 237.45 square kilometers. As one of the five major cities in Iran and a vital economic hub, Tabriz has been a legendary center for weaving authentic Persian carpets for centuries, highly sought after by collectors and interior designers across Europe and the world.

The name Tabriz is believed to be derived from two components: "Tap" (hill, high) and "Riz" (spring), meaning "the spring at the hill." Nestled beneath the Ainali hill, Tabriz has always been situated along the path of flowing natural springs, a crucial element for washing and processing high-quality carpet wool.
