The low-contrast allover Mahi pattern, a local specialty, is depicted in all its splendor in this regal antique Persian scatter rug from the weaving city of Tabriz.

Antique Persian Tabriz Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – This stunning antique Persian scatter rug showcases an archetypal rendering of the Herati or Mahi pattern along with exemplary reciprocating turtle and vine scroll borders. Beautifully nuanced earth tones and powdery blue accents give the intricate botanical decorations an undeniable sophistication. Carefully chosen dark, light and mid-tones bring out the hairline details, highlights and subtle shadows that give the rosettes, serrated palmettes and fish-like Herati leaves a layered appearance and dimensional. Tremendously detailed turtle and vine scroll borders encircle the elaborate taupe field and conclude the regal composition of this classical antique Tabriz rug.
