About the Item

76980 Vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz Rug, 09'10 x 12'09. A timeless embodiment of Persian nobility and artisan grandeur, this hand-knotted wool and silk vintage Mahi Tabriz rug exudes a level of refinement and exclusivity reserved for the true connoisseur. At the heart of this one-of-a-kind masterpiece lies a concentric cusped medallion, a mesmerizing focal point adorned with the iconic Herati motif—each exceptional element meticulously woven with scrupulous attention to detail. Anchored by a pair of palmette pendants and outlined in scalloped waves of design, the softly structured medallion evokes the quiet rhythm of nature, enveloping the viewer in a sense of tranquil majesty. Set against a deep, midnight navy field, the rug blooms with an allover Herati pattern—each motif a poetic expression of cosmic symbolism. The stylized rosettes, nestled within diamonds and framed by lanceolate leaves, have long been interpreted as fish swimming beneath a moonlit surface—a celestial metaphor for serenity, harmony, and the eternal cycle of life. With each signature motif echoing the last, the field radiates a visual cadence that is both hypnotic and harmonious, inviting the eye to wander and the spirit to rest. These repeating exclusive forms do not merely decorate—they narrate a tale of resilience and divine harmony, making this evocative heirloom a living artifact that channels centuries of artistry, devotion, and quiet grandeur ​for connoisseurs attuned to art’s deeper resonance. The rug’s corner spandrels mirror the medallion’s concentric structure, creating a canvas of continuity and symmetry that further elevates the piece’s aura of balance and order. Surrounding this dreamlike composition is a majestic Herati arabesque border, rendered on an elegant navy backdrop and flanked by delicate floral meander guard bands. This ornate frame is not merely decorative—it is a tribute to Persian garden symbolism, where borders define sacred space, and every flower holds meaning. Woven by elite weavers in Tabriz using a rare blend of wool and silk, this prestigious textile is more than a floor covering—it is a legacy object. With precious knot density in the 55 Raj range, this exquisite work of art reflects the highest levels of Persian craftsmanship, where each square inch embodies lavish precision, heritage, and awe-inspiring elegance. Ideal for those who seek bespoke luxury and unparalleled refinement, this Mahi Tabriz is a collector’s treasure—a timeless piece that whispers stories of dynasties, devotion, and eternal beauty.

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.
