A Tabriz rug is a type of Persian rug. Tabriz in northwestern Iran was a historic center of carpet production and is an area well known for its court rugs like the Ardabil Rug. After the mid-19th century, Tabriz relaunched its carpet production and became a production center for export to Europe and elsewhere. Of particular importance is the Tabriz carpet. The first carpets for export were made in the town's workshops.
