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.
