The Hand-Knotted Persian Tabriz Mahi Rug, measuring 6'8" x 10'1", is an exquisite example of traditional Persian craftsmanship. Originating from the city of Tabriz, one of Iran’s most renowned rug-weaving centers, this rug features the signature “Mahi” or fish pattern, which is recognized for its intricate repeating motifs that resemble the scales of a fish. Each detail is carefully hand-knotted, resulting in a piece that blends durability with artistic sophistication.
The central medallion is a hallmark of Tabriz rugs, often surrounded by flowing floral and vine motifs that create a sense of symmetry and elegance. This Mahi design showcases a refined color palette, typically including rich shades of red, blue, ivory, and gold that enhance the depth and texture of the pattern. The borders are especially striking, with multiple layers of finely detailed geometric and botanical patterns that frame the medallion and complete the composition.
Made using high-quality wool, and often accented with silk highlights, this rug achieves both softness underfoot and a luminous sheen that enhances its intricate pattern. The tight knot density—common in authentic Tabriz rugs—ensures not only the clarity of the design but also the rug’s longevity, making it a functional work of art that can be passed down through generations.
The 6'8" x 10'1" size makes this Tabriz Mahi rug ideal for larger living areas, dining rooms, or formal spaces where it can serve as a focal point. Beyond its decorative appeal, it carries cultural heritage and centuries of Persian artistry, offering a timeless elegance that complements both traditional and modern interiors.
