Quality in Tabriz is measured in \u003cstrong\u003eRaj\u003c\/strong\u003e — the number of knots across a 7 cm span. A \u003cstrong\u003e50 Raj\u003c\/strong\u003e piece sits firmly in the fine quality range, where the drawing reaches the clarity that defines the Tabriz idiom. The \u003cstrong\u003eSarab Mashayekhi\u003c\/strong\u003e workshop is among the recognised Tabriz workshops, with a particular reputation for the Mahi vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted in the \u003cstrong\u003eSarab Mashayekhi workshop in Tabriz, Iran\u003c\/strong\u003e, in \u003cstrong\u003e50 Raj quality\u003c\/strong\u003e, from \u003cstrong\u003efine kork wool on a cotton foundation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The composition follows the classical \u003cstrong\u003eMahi\u003c\/strong\u003e (\"fish\") design — a Herati all-over of small rosettes set in a diamond lattice framed by curved \"fish\" leaves, repeating across the entire field. A stepped central diamond medallion with pendants anchors the composition, set off by ivory corner spandrels. The Mahi is one of the most architecturally readable of Persian patterns, particularly well suited to interiors where the rug should provide rhythmic structure rather than a single dominant focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette sets a warm \u003cstrong\u003erust-terracotta ground\u003c\/strong\u003e against a deep \u003cstrong\u003enavy\u003c\/strong\u003e medallion and main border, with \u003cstrong\u003eivory\u003c\/strong\u003e spandrels and guard borders. Floral detail is drawn in sage-green, light blue, salmon and old-rose, with touches of black for definition. The Mahi all-over reads as a continuous architectural pattern from any viewing distance — close-up as fine drawing, from a distance as a measured rhythmic field. White wool fringes finish the ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePresence in the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e211 × 150 cm (3.2 m²)\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a compact room-size piece in the overlap between small and medium.
