79096 Vintage Chinese Mahi Tabriz Rug, 09'00 x 12'03.
This vintage Chinese Mahi Tabriz rug is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship, woven with fine wool and silk to create a luxurious and intricate design. The Mahi Tabriz rug features a rich, deep red field that serves as a dramatic backdrop for the complex Herati pattern, which is meticulously displayed across the entirety of the rug. The central medallion, highlighted by a lighter shade, draws the eye with its elegant cusped design and is mirrored by smaller accent medallions at each corner, enhancing the rug’s symmetrical beauty.
The Herati pattern, known for its detailed and repetitive motif, consists of a floral rosette encircled by curved leaves resembling fish, a design element that symbolizes life and abundance. This vintage Chinese Tabriz rug showcases an exceptional density of these motifs, each interlocking seamlessly with the next, creating a vibrant and dynamic visual effect.
Bordering the central field is a series of ornate meander guard borders, each richly adorned with floral motifs and intricate vine work. These borders are symmetrically patterned to complement the central theme, featuring a fine repetition of floral elements and geometric shapes that frame the rug beautifully. The main border is particularly striking, with its classic Herati pattern of detailed foliate compositions set against a contrasting color background, which emphasizes the artistry and detailed work.
This Mahi Tabriz rug is not only a decorative piece but also an emblem of Persian design and Chinese artistic heritage, reflecting the skilled craftsmanship and deep cultural symbolism. Its robust palette, enduring materials, and classical design make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to add a touch of historical elegance and refined taste to their home decor. The rug’s fine handspun wool fibers ensures it remains a lasting treasure, suitable for both contemporary and traditional settings.
