Tabriz Mahi

Few cities in Iran can look back on such a long tradition of carpet production as the city of Tabriz. The area, which is inhabited exclusively by Azerbaijanis, has been a major centre for carpet weaving for centuries. As a result, very different styles and patterns in the production of Persian carpets have emerged. One of the related patterns is the so-called Mahi pattern, which is also known as the fish design or Herati. The frequently repeated pattern on the rugs means that dirt is barely visible. This makes these all-over design rugs ideal for entrance areas or living rooms, for example.
