Description

Discover a true masterpiece of Persian weaving with this magnificent Mid-20th Century Vintage Persian Tabriz "Mahi" Room-Size Rug, meticulously hand-knotted in the 3rd quarter of the 1900s by one of the finest artisan workshops in the city of Tabriz, Northwest Persia. Tabriz rugs are renowned for their exceptional fineness, intricate detailing, and sophisticated designs, and this piece is a brilliant embodiment of that tradition.

This captivating rug is highly distinguished by its very rare and highly desirable ivory color field, which provides a luminous and expansive canvas. This serene background brings the timeless beauty of the classic "Mahi" (or Herati) design to life, a celebrated pattern known for its repeating rosette-within-diamond motif, often referred to as "fish" due to its graceful flow.

A striking red border elegantly frames the composition, creating a beautiful contrast that enhances the rug's visual impact and classical grandeur. Adding further depth and unique character, the corners are subtly adorned with harmonious accents in both dark and light chocolate tones, which beautifully complement the primary colors.

While the iconic "Mahi" design is often copied and adapted in various weaving centers both within and outside Persia, it is a significant challenge to find a true masterpiece that captures the consummate refinement, quality, and authentic spirit exemplified by this beautiful Tabriz rug. Its exceptional craftsmanship, rare color palette, and revered design make it a standout piece.
