Azerbaydjanskie Kovry: Tebrizskaya Gruppa

Azerbaijani Carpets: Tabriz Group is a detailed academic study by Vidadi Muradov devoted to the Tabriz carpet group, one of the most historically influential and technically refined schools of Azerbaijani carpet weaving. Cantered on the city of Tabriz, a major cultural and artistic hub of the South Caucasus and Iranian Azerbaijan, the book examines carpets that played a crucial role in shaping both regional and international carpet traditions.

Muradov traces the historical development of the Tabriz group from medieval court workshops to later urban and commercial production, emphasizing its strong connection to professional design schools, miniature painting, and manuscript illumination. Unlike village-based carpet traditions, Tabriz carpets are characterized by complex curvilinear compositions, refined drawing, and a high level of technical sophistication.
