This 4’1” x 6’6” Hand-Knotted 70 Raj Persian Tabriz Mahi Rug is a masterwork of fine weaving from the historic city of Tabriz in northwest Iran. The 70 Raj knot density reflects remarkable precision, allowing the signature Mahi, or “fish,” motif to appear with exceptional clarity. Its medallion-centered layout is framed by delicate floral vines and geometric accents, a design tradition that has endured for centuries in Persian rug artistry.
The rug’s wool pile, often accented with touches of silk, exhibits a soft, lustrous finish that enhances its intricate patterns. Each element is hand-dyed using time-honored methods, producing a harmonious palette of deep reds, golds, and dark tones that shift subtly with the light. The short, dense pile ensures durability, making it both a luxurious and practical piece for daily living.
Beyond its beauty, a 70 Raj Tabriz Mahi rug carries symbolic depth. The repeating fish design suggests fluidity and good fortune, while the medallion evokes balance and tradition. This rug is not only a functional floor covering but also a cultural heirloom, representing the skill and heritage of Persian weaving passed down through generations.
