Tabriz, the capital of Azerbaijan is situated at an altitude of 1367 meters/4484 feet, in a huge basin dominated by Mount Sahand
to the south and by the Qusheh dagh to the east. Due to its climate and topography, It is a perfect area to sheep-breeding,
and is justly reputed for the excellent quality of its wool.
Tabriz is the third town of Iran, but since the 17th century, it has counted as one of the best known carpet producing centers.
Before the first World War, Tabriz controlled all Iranian trades between Tsarist Russia and the West and was thus the richest town in the country,though it later lost its commercial importance.Early travelers' accounts describe it as a city of luxuries.
Several factories functioned there, producing very beautiful knotted carpets that were counted among the finest in Iran.
The Tabriz weavers are highly skilled and work very quickly, using special hook for the knotting process.
