Richly traditional and finely woven, this rug presents the classic Mahi, or ‘fish’, design: a small lobed medallion at the centre, surrounded by a field packed edge to edge with the tiny Herati lattice of rosettes and curved leaves. The drawing is dense and precise, the whole surface humming with detail.
Its colouring sets it apart — the Herati lattice is worked in deep rose-pink and navy, so the field glows a warm dark rose rather than the usual red or blue. A soft ivory medallion and matching corner spandrels lift the centre, and a wide ivory border of floral palmettes, scattered with sage, gold, and red, frames the design. Dark rose leads, cooled by navy and brightened by cream.
Hand-knotted on a cotton foundation with the tight double knot, the rug shows the very high knot count the Mahi design demands — the only way to render its tiny, repeating motifs so cleanly. Warm and richly patterned, it brings depth and character to a living room, dining room, or study. As a one-of-a-kind handmade piece, no other rug shares its exact colours, drawing, or character.
Details
The Mahi, or ‘fish’, design — also known as Herati — fills the field with a tiny repeating motif of a rosette framed by two curved leaves, said to resemble fish circling in a pool. One of the most refined all-over patterns in Persian weaving, it has long been a signature of the Tabriz workshops, prized for the discipline and fineness it demands.
What makes this example distinctive is its warm dark-rose colouring, a softer and more unusual choice than the classic red or ivory Mahi. Rewoven by hand in Pakistan in fine wool, the piece keeps the precision of the originals while offering a gentler, more romantic palette. Its small irregularities are the signature of the weaver’s hand, not flaws.
