ABOUT THIS PIECE
This Tabriz Mahi Persian rug from north-west Iran shows the enduring elegance of the Herati design. Woven between 1960 and 1980, it measures 291 × 198 cm and is crafted with a cotton foundation, double wefts and a durable wool pile. Its central diamond medallion is set within a lattice of rosettes and stylised leaves, framed by deep navy corners and a richly patterned border of palmettes and cartouches. The terracotta field and warm salmon tones reflect an Ardabil-influenced palette, yet the structure and knot regularity are true to Tabriz weaving. Colours are largely natural and balanced producing a harmonious and resilient finish. Clean and well preserved, this Persian carpet is ideal for both collectors and interiors seeking a timeless Tabriz rug of lasting quality.
SPECIFICATIONS

A 3-seater sofa along the long side with its front legs on the rug and 36 cm of rug past each arm, a coffee table on the rug. It is not deep enough for armchairs opposite as well.
The chairs sit on the rug at the table, but with 59 cm of rug beyond the table their back legs catch the edge when pulled out. 60 cm is the comfortable margin.
Under the lower part of a king bed with 54 cm of rug showing on each side, so your feet land on it either side of the bed.
