From Hossein Hosseini
The next rug is a nice Taba
(Tabatabaei). I
noticed on your Tabriz section you could use a 'Taba' as the
'Tabatabaei' family was a contributor to the Persian Rugs in Tabriz. I
acquired this piece on ebay ( as well as 100 others last year for my
wife's little design business) We are keeping this in our house. Here
is the photo:
I found this post from an old
friend:
"The name Taba comes from these rugs
made in a work shop in Tabriz owned by a family named Tabatabaee. As
compared to the copies (Indian, etc.) the Persian Taba rugs are VERY
stiff due to a very heavy weft cord used in the construction. Often you
can see a line on the back of the rug, every few rows, where it looks
as though a row of knots are missing. It should not easily fold lenght
wise. "
Happy trails ...
