Quality: The quality of TABRIZ rugs and carpets are varies. The older (before 1945) are very good, but some of the newer TABRIZ rugs and carpets are not as good as old ones. Some of the newer rugs have a lower number of Knots Per Square Inch (KPSI) and they are chemically dyed instead of vegetable dyed. TABRIZ rugs and carpets are highly prized because they are one of the best looking carpets in IRAN and the world.
