The Celestial Herati Court: Vintage Persian Tabriz Masterpiece of Refined Elegance

This exceptional hand knotted wool and silk vintage Persian Mahi Tabriz rug represents the intellectual and artistic pinnacle of northwest Persian weaving. Created in one of Iran’s most esteemed court-weaving centers, it embodies a tradition where precision, patience, and prestige converge. Every precious knot reflects an uncompromising standard of craftsmanship, resulting in a surface that feels almost luminous—an object designed not merely to decorate, but to command reverence.

At the heart of the exclusive composition lies a concentric cusped octagonal medallion, sculpted with scalloped edges and anchored by elegant palmette pendants. This architectural centerpiece unfolds like a celestial map, guiding the eye inward and outward in perfect harmony. The medallion’s layered geometry evokes balance, order, and infinite continuity—hallmarks of Mahi design and symbols long associated with refinement, wisdom, and cultivated taste.

Surrounding the majestic medallion, an allover field of finely articulated Herati motifs creates a mesmerizing sense of movement and depth. Traditionally interpreted as a flower framed by protective leaves and flowing water, the Herati pattern symbolizes life, renewal, and spiritual abundance. Rendered here with extraordinary finesse in wool and silk, the motifs shimmer subtly as light passes across the surface, offering a visual experience that is both serene and deeply sophisticated.

Encasing the composition, a classic Herati border is framed by triple botanical guard bands, forming a dignified perimeter that reinforces symmetry and balance. These borders act as both ornament and enclosure, elevating this exquisite work of art into a complete, self-contained world of beauty. Rare, meticulously executed, and undeniably prestigious, this Mahi Tabriz is a collector’s piece—an heirloom textile destined for interiors where discernment, legacy, and quiet luxury are paramount.
