Tabriz, the capital of the northwestern Iranian province of Azerbaijan, has enjoyed a high reputation as a center of oriental culture for centuries. The Middle Ages saw the greatest development of the arts, which also influenced carpet production in many ways. The dominant colors in Tabriz are dark red, deep blue and ivory. The typical design is a central medallion of baroque type or rosettes and palmettes arranged in a continuous modular composition. The warp and weft are made of cotton while the pile, usually wool, is medium-high shaved. The silk, occasionally used to outline the carpet's motifs, has a low shave. Sometimes after the word Tabriz we find the name Raj, this means the number of knots in about 7 cm. In this case the carpet is 50 Raj so it has between 500,000 and 600,000 knots per square meter. Often linked to the name Nain, it is followed by the denomination “La” which in Persian means layers, or the number of threads that make up a warp, used for knotting the carpet. The fewer “layers” therefore “la” there are, the more valuable the carpet is, for example a Nain 4La will be finer than a Nain 6La or 9La. Often these carpets, being true works of art, are signed in the frame at the top by the master knotter who made them, among the most famous is the master Habibian, who became famous for the very high quality of his carpets especially suitable for an elite of connoisseurs. In recent years a production has also developed that has nothing to do with the Nain, the nain tabas belong to this category.
