A deep navy field is covered edge to edge with the timeless ‘Mahi’ (fish) design — an all-over lattice of tiny leaves, rosettes and curving ‘fish’ in red, rose, blue, green and cream — in this finely knotted Persian Sabzevar. A glowing red border of turtle palmettes, flanked by blue floral guard stripes, frames the field. It is a classic of Khorasan town weaving, prized for its density and jewel-like colour.
Sabzevar rugs are known for their fine knotting and durable, hard-wearing pile, hand-spun from Khorasan highland wool. The rich, natural-dyed palette only mellows with age. Worked entirely by hand over many months, every motif is drawn a little differently — the honest mark of a genuine one-of-a-kind, hand-made piece, an heirloom to be handed down for generations.
