The weavers here are among the fastest and most skilled in Iran. Weaving in Tabriz region can vary greatly in quality, common qualities of Tabriz rugs range from 50 to 500 KSPI. In fine quality Tabriz rugs thin white cotton is used for the warp and weft threads. The wool used for the pile is of excellent quality and trimmed short. Small amounts of silk are often used to accentuate certain designs and motifs. In rugs of medium to coarse quality a thick cotton warp is used and for the pile heavy wool of medium length is used. Today, silk and pure silk rugs are woven in different designs and as well as the Medallion and over-all floral deigns. In Tabriz rugs, a wide variety of designs are woven in both curvilinear and rectilinear formats: The medallion, over-all floral, picture and mahi (Herati). One of the new designs (Mahi Tabriz) is composed of small Herati motifs repeated throughout the field of the rug. Many new patterns were as well created. Most common design is the medallion, which were then divided into four and placed in the four corners of the field. In Tabriz rugs a wide variety of color combinations are used. The back-ground colors range from deep, rich tones of blue and red to pastel shades of taupe, ivory and black. Tabriz rugs are among the most popular Persian rugs. Fine quality Tabriz rugs are tightly woven and very durable. Prices vary according to quality and they are mostly available in large sizes. Also, a large number of round and square rugs in sizes up to 13 feet are weaved. Characteristic TABRIZ PERSIAN 9'9" x 13'3" CIRCA: 1970-1975 SIGNATURE: ALABOFT A BRIEF HISTORY OF "ALABAF" RUGS: Tabriz carpets signed by "Alabaf" have a 120-year-old background. The "Alabaf" family weaving rugs today is the third generation of rug producers. The grandfather (first generation) operated a workshop with over 300 looms and around 1000 workers and weavers. He passed away in 1949, and only four out of his seven sons continued the work of their father (second generation). "Alabaf" carpets made by the first generation are at least 60 years old. Rugs that belong to the first and second generations have used 100% natural and vegetable dyes. But those made by the third generation, starting in 1985, have about 5% chemical colors. It is believed that the second generation of "Alabaf" used the best quality of wool and dyes. This is the period between 1948 and 1990 when "Alabaf" family was at its peak as a high-quality rug producer. The wool was obtained from Golpayegan area, and had the highest quality available in Iran. Very few of the old pieces made by "Alabaf" do not have a signature. Instead of a signature, some of them have the number 185 which reads "Alabaf" in the Abjad alphabet. The majority of designs are the work of Mir Mosavar Arjangi and his son Manochehr Arjangi, two of the best designers in Tabriz. The "Alabaf" family has produced rugs between 30 and 70 raj. The first workshop was located in their backyard and was active for 40 years. It was then moved to a new place where it is operating even today, with less than 100 looms. Fortunately, very few of their designs have been copied with a fake "Alabaf" signature. The hard work of three generations has made the name "Alabaf" a source of pride for the Persian Rug industry.
