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.
