Consequently, it is not surprising that the carpets woven there have been able to preserve the highest technical standards and the most varied repertoire Tabriz rugs offer classical medallion designs and a host of allover patterns as well in every color imaginable, from brilliant rich tones to soft pastels. What sets them apart from other Persian rugs is their quality. There is no traditional color scheme and the variety of color is limitless, ranging from rich jewel tones to subtle pastels.
