The Tabriz 50 Raj Mahi rugs are one of the most refined expressions of Persian weaving, distinguished by the combination of extremely high knot density and the famous Mahi (fish) design, one of the oldest and most iconic motifs in carpet art. Each rug is hand-knotted with about 50 knots per raj, using the finest wool and natural silk that give extraordinary brightness and elegance to the details. These rugs are never mass-produced: every Tabriz 50 Raj Mahi is a unique piece, the result of months or even years of meticulous craftsmanship.
They originate from the city of Tabriz in northwestern Iran, the capital of East Azerbaijan province and a major hub of Persian luxury carpet production. With a population of over 1.5 million and a continental climate marked by cold winters and hot summers, Tabriz has nurtured one of the world’s most prestigious weaving traditions, becoming an international benchmark for fine carpets.
The Mahi design, literally meaning “fish,” is inspired by small fish- or leaf-shaped motifs repeated harmoniously across the field of the rug, creating a hypnotic and balanced effect. In Tabriz 50 Raj Mahi rugs, this pattern is executed with extraordinary precision thanks to the very high knot density, often enriched with elegant central medallions and floral borders. Dominant colors include dark blue, red, ivory, and beige, frequently highlighted with silk details that add depth and brilliance.
Choosing a Tabriz 50 Raj Mahi means bringing into your home a masterpiece of Persian art, a rug that combines ancient tradition, luxury, and refined aesthetics. It is the perfect choice for anyone seeking an exclusive piece capable of enhancing any interior with timeless elegance.
