About the Item
79330 Vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz Rug, 06'08 x 09'10. In the exalted realm of Persian weaving, few creations capture the essence of refinement and prestige like this hand-knotted wool and silk Mahi Tabriz rug—a textile symphony of precision and poetry. Every precious knot, deliberate and deliberate, tells a story of mastery passed through generations of artisans who elevated weaving into a sacred discipline. This extraordinary masterpiece radiates a quiet grandeur, its design centered upon a cusped lozenge medallion that seems to float effortlessly within the field, as though suspended in an atmosphere of contemplative stillness. It is a study in proportion and grace—a woven testament to order, harmony, and enduring artistry.
Across the sumptuous field unfolds a mesmerizing constellation of signature Herati motifs—delicate, interlocking emblems that evoke the eternal dance of fish beneath water, a Persian metaphor for abundance, unity, and cyclical life. Their repetition creates a mesmerizing rhythm, where balance meets movement, and every minute detail contributes to the whole. The result is an almost architectural heirloom of beauty—mathematically perfect yet undeniably soulful—where silk threads catch the light like the glint of moonlight upon still waters.
The exclusive border forms a stately frame, its palmettes and scrolling vinery reminiscent of the lush gardens that once surrounded Persian palaces. Each bloom, each vine, is rendered with precision and reverence, symbolizing divine creation and the cultivated intellect of a golden age. The interplay of form and motion gives the piece a meditative cadence—a sense of both stillness and vitality that has defined the finest Tabriz rugs for centuries.
Owning a Mahi Tabriz such as this is not merely an act of acquisition—it is an embrace of legacy. It speaks to a collector’s discernment, an understanding that true luxury is not loud but lyrical, not transient but timeless. In its measured symmetry and subdued radiance lies the ultimate refinement: a garden of reflections, woven for those who see beauty not as ornament, but as heritage and an exclusive work of art.

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.
