Perfect for today’s transitional and contemporary room-settings, the Pokhara Collection by Couristan offers a sophisticated appeal unmatched by any other area rug collection of its kind. Hand-knotted, using a time-honored Indo-Nepalese weave, Pokhara offers a series of fresh geometric and Nepalese designs that are saturated in dramatic earth-inspired colorations. Each earth-inspired color found in the collection’s 100% semi-worsted New Zealand wool pile has been designed to add dimension to room-settings that are dressed in today’s most popular color and design schemes. The sophisticated appeal that is employed in the collection’s simple geometric and Nepalese designs is enhanced by a unique double wash process, providing the collection’s pile with a soft hand and the look of a rich patina. |

Tabriz is an ancient city in north-western Iran, and the most prolific of all carpet centres. The quality in their carpets is generally exceptional, with most on a base of fine cotton, but sometimes on pure silk. There are many unique designs but typically the pattern in a Tabriz rug is filled with dense floral motifs, large palmettes, vases, or vivid hunting scenes or pictorials in the field. These can be with or without a medallion, and geometric designs are also seen. Tabriz has sub-styles as well. These include the restrained and elegant 'Mahi' in co-ordinated borders of subdued tones that fit in anywhere; the Naqsheh, with its plethora of pinks on beige, or very occasionally, black; and the wild but beautiful Tabatabaie, always in touches of orange, lemon green and beige. The finer Naqsheh and Mahi are mostly in highly-priced Kurk wool, and silk is often used to outline lavishly the highlights of the rug. |
