Vintage Tabriz, approx. 70–80 years | Item No. 14364

Tabriz Rug 140 x 200 cm, Vintage – Mahi Design

Hand-knotted Tabriz from north-west Iran, approximately 70 to 80 years old. Wool pile on a cotton foundation, allover Mahi design on a deep blue ground.

Design and Colour

The field carries an allover Mahi design, also known as Herati, without a medallion: a diamond lattice set with rosettes and framed by the lanceolate leaves that give the motif its name. The pattern runs evenly across the whole surface and is cut at the edges – the layout typical of allover drawings.

The ground is deep indigo, with the drawing above it in red, salmon, light blue and ivory. The main border is a strong red filled with palmettes and scrollwork, flanked by light minor borders. The contrast between dark field and red border gives the piece a clear framing effect.

The rug belongs to the Persian rugs of the Tabriz provenance. At roughly 250,000 knots per m² (approx. 23,200 per sq ft) the fine Mahi drawing is cleanly resolved. Pile height is around 0.6 cm / 0.25 in, lower in places through age.

Where It Works

At 140 × 200 cm (4.6 × 6.6 ft), covering 2.8 m² / 30.1 sq ft, the rug suits the following settings:

Bedroom, lengthwise at the foot of the bed or alongside as a bedside rug
Study, beneath desk and chair
Hallway or entrance area as a single piece
Living room as a free-standing piece in front of an armchair or fireplace

The rug is suitable for use over underfloor heating. An anti-slip underlay is recommended on smooth floors.
