This beautiful Ardabil rug, roughly 5’ x 8’, is filled from edge to edge with the classic Mahi (Herati) pattern. The colours of the corner spandrels and the central medallion are carefully harmonized, so your eye moves naturally between them as the “fish” motifs flow continuously across the field, creating a lively yet controlled rhythm.
The basic shapes of the medallion and corners are very simple, but they sit in perfect harmony with the detailed all-over design. That balance between a busy pattern and calm, clear framing is what makes this Ardabil feel both distinctive and quietly elegant.
Origin: Ardebil, Northwest Persia
Materials: Hand-knotted wool pile on cotton foundation
Age: Second half of the 20th century
Size: 5' 4" x 8' 6" (163 x 260 cm)
Condition Note: Please note that one of the borders appears to have been historically reduced. This type of modification is found in vintage rugs, likely done to customize the size for a specific room or to address prior wear. It adds a unique layer to the rug's story without affecting its overall structural integrity.
