The Mahi, from the city of Tabriz, is one of the most elegant carpets in the world. It shows very small silk-lined fish, almost a paisley pattern, scattered neatly throughout the many borders and medallions of the carpet. The tiny flowers and border details are also outlined in silk, and the wool is usually of the finest 'Kurk'. The magic of a Mahi, especially in the higher KPSI, is in the subtle color ranges of each piece, from beiges to brown, black or navy to grey, and every shade of green. This incredible symphony of color in each carpet allows it to blend easily into the the most challenging interior, giving the Mahi its nickname of 'the Designer's carpet'. They do not show their true beauty on the internet, perhaps due to the extremely small scale of the design. |

This Donegal design originated in 1898 when Alexander Mortan & Co. started weaving carpets in Donegal, Ireland. The piece was originally named “The Fintona”; it was displayed at the Grafton Gallery in London during a Liberty’s exhibition in 1903. This carpet was also available in the catalogues of Gustav Stickley. The carpets design artfully depicts giant hemlock boughs, and is a fine example of the Donegal carpets woven during the Arts & Crafts period. The carpet was possibly designed by the Silver Studio in 1902 influenced heavily by William Morris, as well as C.F.A. Voysey. |
