SIL143 10X13 PERSIAN MAHI TABRIZ RUG
CLICK TO ENLARGE


"Due to its Herati motifs, this Persian rug is highly compatible with a Victorian interior design. This decorative motif gets its name from its place of origin: the town Herat of Afghanistan. It is a highly used motif symbolizing the small fishes which in full moon nights swim at the surface and the moon light is reflecting over them. This motif is usually associated with Mahi design which is the Persian word for fish. It is amazing how these motif's colors are contrasting with the black background."

Tabriz Rugs
The rugs manufactured in the city of Tabriz also are of great finesse. Their predominant colors are red, blue and ivory. They offer strong contrasts in the rug’s image but also inspire serenity and beauty. Most are hand-knotted on a soft cotton foundation using a combination of wool and silk. Some of them show the common floral designed central medallion. Featuring different sizes and a perfect symmetry these rugs prove the skills of those who worked to manufacture them.
