Features:
- The Persian Mahi rug is one of the classic patterns produced by the master carpet weavers in Tabriz since the 16th century. Tabriz is an ancient city in northwestern Iran, Islamic Republic of and is the most prolific of all carpet centres. Their quality is exceptional, showing the incredible skill of Persian craftsmanship. The makers of these rugs take such pride in their work that they often weave their signature into the carpet's border. "Mahi" is a Farsi word for an elegant motif known as "fish in the pond". The Mahi design is made up of rosettes framed by a vine scroll and leaves with patterns often resembling jumping fish with stripes, eyes and life-like features. The traditional color palette and bold allover pattern makes this style a popular choice for living rooms.
- Handmade rugs can be used to complement your existing décor or can be used as the foundation from which to draw inspiration for the entire room. Area rugs can be used to define space in a room. Many large rugs come from the cities; and are woven using large, fixed looms to give a more complex and intricate design. Smaller rugs can be used on their own, layered together or can be used in the traditional way as multi-purpose coverings for floors, beds and furniture. Smaller, tribal rugs are created on small looms that are transported by the weavers from place to place. This journey is reflected in their asymetrical borders, displaying proudly the heritage of their creation. Layering multiple rugs in the one room can create a feeling of warmth and homeliness, recreating the feeling of the nomadic dwellings of the makers. This layered look is recommended with tribal rugs created by nomadic people such as Balouchi, Azerbaijan or Abedeh rugs. Every designer has a different opinion and aesthetic on how to style each unique piece. Don't be afraid to mix and match colours, designs and styles throughout the home based on your own imagination, as every piece we offer has been selected to bring timeless elegance and luxury to any style of decor.
- Handmade rugs are designed to withstand use and require surprisingly little care. By following these simple steps, you can ensure your heirloom piece stays looking stunning for generations to come. Regular vacuuming is recommended to lift dirt before it can settle into the base of the rug. Vacuum using a brushless attachment. Occasionally vacuum the back of the rug, following by a vacuum of the top. Professional cleaning should be organised every three to seven years depending on the level of traffic. For spills, bot excess liquid immediately with paper towels. Contact your rug cleaning professional for further advice. Rotate your rug every six months to a year to ensure even wear and light exposure. Use a rug pad to protect from wear and prevent your rug from sliding.
- The art of rug weaving is a cultural tradition in Iran, Islamic Republic of, dating back to ancient Persia roughly the first century BC. The unique patterns and delicate harmonies of design and colour are evidence of the rich tradition, and Persian rugs are also prized for their exquisite technique.
