معرفی ویژگی‌های فرش‌های نفیس تبریز در دو دهه گذشته

Persian carpet is a manifestation of all of our national arts. There are thousands of people working in this trade. These carpets are produced by efforts of so many workers and artists. Obviously, it is necessary to gain a good knowledge of precious carpets these days because due to good foreign market for them, unfortunately, these weavings with their exceptional designs have been exported abroad and there is almost no indication of them in Iranian artistic centers. Precious carpets are only presented in exhibitions and carpet shops and so often their artists and weavers fade into obscurity. Only few merchants and a number of particular persons know these people and even there can be no attempt to introduce them to art societies. This paper, beginning with a brief review of the history of Tabriz accompanied with the history of carpet-weaving in this area, introduces some designing and coloring techniques used for precious and high quality carpets of Tabriz and also their designers. Then it proceeds to present some characteristics of these carpets including: weaving method, used materials, colors and son on.
