About the Item

78931 Antique Persian Mahi Tabriz Rug, 09'00 x 12'03. This hand-knotted wool antique Persian Mahi Tabriz rug is a masterpiece of intricate design and sophisticated craftsmanship. The rich, deep red field is elegantly adorned with a dense, intricate pattern of Mahi (fish) designs, interwoven with floral motifs that symbolize the perpetual cycle of life and renewal in Persian art. The central stepped lozenge medallion, resplendent in its detailed execution, acts as the heart of the composition, drawing the eye to its complex layering of geometric and curvilinear forms that resonate with the rhythms of nature. Surrounding the majestic diamond medallion are quartered stepped corner spandrels that mirror the central design, creating a harmonious balance across the rug's surface. These spandrels are detailed with delicate floral elements and subtle, soft hues that contrast beautifully against the bold reds of the field, enhancing the visual depth and inviting continued contemplation. Each knot and color choice is a testament to the weaver’s skill and artistic vision, making this antique Persian rug not just a floor covering, but a piece of living history. The classic Herati border of this antique Persian Mahi Tabriz rug is a work of art in itself, framed by double meander guard borders. These subsidiary inner and outer guard bands feature repeating floral motifs and geometric designs, echoing the complexity and thematic elements found within the central field. The colors are rich yet understated, employing shades of beige, brown, and baby blue that provide a calm yet elegant boundary to the vibrant energy of the inner design. This antique Tabriz rug embodies the essence of traditional Persian rug making, offering more than just aesthetic appeal—it represents a cultural narrative woven into its very fibers. With its deep, rich colors and elaborate patterns, the rug is a perfect addition to any space seeking to add a touch of elegance and historical depth. Whether placed in a formal dining room or a private study, this Mahi Tabriz rug is sure to captivate and inspire, blending seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional decor. Abrash. Age Wear.

Vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz Rug, 11'11 x 17'08
Located in Dallas, TX
78414 Vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz Rug, 11'11 x 17'08. This hand-knotted wool vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz rug is a remarkable testament to the enduring artistry of Persian weavers. Its central feature is a beautifully intricate lobed medallion, richly detailed and anchored by elegant palmette pendants at either end, creating a mesmerizing focal point. The medallion's elaborate geometry and detailed motifs are encased within a warm, regal color palette, enhancing the overall sophistication and allure of the rug. This medallion is perfectly symmetrical, showcasing the meticulous skill and planning that goes into traditional Persian rug making. Surrounding the central medallion, the rug is adorned with the timeless Herati pattern, which covers the entirety of the field in a precise, orderly fashion. The Herati motif, known for its symbolic representation of fish (Mahi) swimming in water, is a classic element in Persian rugs and is thought to signify abundance and luck. This pattern consists of a floral center encased in a diamond, flanked by curving leaves that recall the fluid motion of fish beneath the moonlit water, echoing themes of renewal and nature's continuous cycle. The borders of the Persian Tabriz rug are equally magnificent, enclosed with a traditional Herati border that complements the central field, and flanked by multiple guard bands. These borders are intricately patterned with a series of smaller, detailed motifs that enhance the rug’s grandeur, making it not just a piece of decor, but a focal point that commands attention. The detailed bordering frames the central design beautifully, reinforcing the rug’s structured aesthetic and its connection to the natural world. This vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz rug encapsulates the splendor of Persian rug craftsmanship with its decadent beauty and sophisticated color scheme. Ideal for elevating traditional furnishings, this rug can transform any space into a regal setting, blending rich history with exquisite design. The rug’s deep, warm colors and intricate patterns offer a timeless elegance that can complement both modern and classic interiors, making it a cherished piece for any collector or enthusiast of fine textiles. Rendered in variegated shades of red, navy blue, beige, green, sky blue, tan, and pink with other accent colors. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Hand knotted wool. Made in Iran. Measures: 11'11 x 17'08.
